Paris

 Paris decided to have a little rain for us when we arrived.  This might have been an issue given one of our major plans was a bike tour but alas we decided garbage bag raincoats would solve the problem (and add that nice fashion detail to really set off the American tennis shoe look).
The girls taking a moment to reflect the history and beauty of their location (or plot for snacks..)
 Jacqueline was not thrilled to be riding the jump bike with her dad (although she was not at all stressed about the fact they tipped over).  She wanted to ride her own bike.  That said, mom and dad were a lot happier to not worry about her trying to cope with the crowds and the traffic and the photo ops were good.

 She was pleased to have worn her Paris shirt as well.

and the jump bike could be used in multiple ways to add back that element of danger.

 Some silliness when asked to pose.

 and of course, ice cream after the bike ride was necessary (if crazy expensive).

 Day 2 making up with mom for being bratty kids in the hotel..

 doing some shopping for a purse for Jaq near Sacre Coeur 

 Dad wasn't feeling too well so mom and the girls went to visit the Notre Dame alone
 as you can see the weather improved dramatically.
girls enjoyed the posh room dad got for us in Paris and took advantage of the robes.
