This one is for you Mom. I am pretty sure this is the roundabout that they get stuck on in European Vacation. I kept looking for Chevy but didn't find him:

We got out of the bus and got super touristy at the Eiffel Tower:

This was our cute hotel room:

Toasting with an empty glass. I think this is bad luck, which explains why the food that came moments later was so terrible:
Photobucket

The Metro of course. I think everyone who goes to Paris has this photo haha

Republique Square where we stayed. She looked straight down our street so it was easy to find our way:

Santa He-Man and C3-P0, I wish all of Paris looked like this:

The Eiffel Tower lit up, which is very pretty:

Catacombes :) :) :)

We went down a ton of stairs:

The walls were marked with the dates that they had been created:

Sailor in the catacombes:

Tiny city scene carved into the stone to represent the landmarks above. The man who created them died there in a cave-in while he was trying to create a tunnel for people to view his creation:
Photobucket

Super eerie glowing well on your way down into the catacombes:
Photobucket

Twin pillars marking the "Gateway to Hell" as it was once called:

First glimpse inside:

No flash photography was allowed to everything is really dark:

On the way out of the catacombes there were giant inverted bell shaped spaces. Their description said that they were slowly degrading upward and would eventually cause a cave-in in that spot:

  1. Holy hannah! These are great! I am pretty sure I saw the Griswald's in that one photo; you really have to look hard to see them. I am so happy that you are having these experiences! xoxo
