| Brooke's baby crib on our flight back to the states...sound asleep! |
 |
| Brooke is doing a better job than Jenny was with this whole jet lag thing |
 |
| Here she slept on our flight from Chicago to DC...so tired! |
 |
| Brooke digging the baguette sandwich at the airport! |
 |
| The Eiffel Tower is truly best at dusk! |
 |
| The Louvre |
 |
| These are the original heads from Notre Dame! |
 |
| Mommy daughter time |
 |
| Brooke's favorite book is Madeleine so we got pictures with her in front of every picture that's in Madeleine, including the Bastille. |
 |
| Perfect rest stop at Place de Vosges. Apparently Brooke likes my watch! |
 |
| I love the architecture in Pairs...everywhere you go, there's interesting stuff! |
 |
| This place is a MUST! I don't even like falafel and I thought it was amazing. Right in the middle of the Jewish Quarter, these guys serve up some kind grub. |
 |
| Brooke is getting better at the family photo with the Ipohne! Unfortunately it took us the whole trip.... |
 |
| Inside St Ephtraim's church....we were just about the only ones there! |
 |
| Typical Parisian street scene |
 |
| We got crepes for our last meal and these things did not disappoint. I had Spanish ham in mine while Jenny had a Turkish sausage. These things were so tasty. We then got a Nutella crepe that was just as good! |
 |
| Good stuff! |
 |
| Brooke is exhausted from all the photos and all the purple-monster wearing time. She slept like a champ the majority of the trip! |
 |
| Checking out the Pantheon for the first time! |
 |
| Now that is a happy baby! Just not happy to be in the purple monster for another day... |
 |
| Rue Cler |
 |
| And yes...we had a photo shoot with Brooke in front of the Eiffel Tower with a baguette and beret! |
 |
| Chubby Cheeks! |
 |
| Where's the buerre? |
 |
| "My parents are so weird!" |
 |
| And we're done with this... |
 |
| All those photos wore Brooke out as she slept the whole time up top! |
 |
| Our favorite boulangerie! |
 |
| Hands down....the best hot chocolate from Le Duex Magots. Liquid gold! |
 |
| On our way to the Louvre! You can tell Brooke is super pumped. I promise she enjoyed this trip, contrary to all the shade she's throwing in these pictures! |
 |
| Photo shoot outside the Louvre. |
 |
| Sometimes Brooke looks so chubby in these pictures...this is a good example. Just following doctor's orders to beef her up! |
 |
| Here we are enjoying Croque Madames which was I think one of the best meals we had there. These things were delicious! |
 |
| Our friends watched Brooke this night so we were able to enjoy a free night. We chose this random restaurant near St Sulpice church that seated about 25 people. The older couple next to us turns out totally knows my dad as they're from SLC. Then we made good friends with Xavier, on the right, who is the coolest French dude whom we totally loved! |
 |
| Overlooking the City of Light! |
 |
| Jardines des Tuleries as we start the Champs Elyeses walk up to the Arc de Triumph |
 |
| Checking out those gargoyles up nice and tight! Brooke, sound asleep. |
 |
| Learning about the Arc de Triumph as we admire the view from atop. Thank you Rick Steves. This was right before an epic meltdown that continued as we stepped down the famous arch. |
 |
| Atop the Arc de Triumph |
 |
| Checking out Hector Gumiard's fine design work...one of the few remaining original Metro stops. Another reason to love Paris |
 |
| Pain au chocolat and Sacre Coure....life is good. |
 |
| Strolling along as we do the Rick Steves Montmarte walking tour. Brooke was sound asleep at this point. |
 |
| The one sight that Jenny really wanted to see. Brooke's too. Well kind of, not really. |
 |
| St Chapelle and it's fine stained glass. Brooke really enjoyed it as well. It's too bad she won't remember seeing all the stained glass! |
 |
| You really need to see this in person to understand how impressive it is. It's as if the walls are not there. |
 |
| Hanging out on Pont Neuf. Brooke enjoyed it as well! |
 |
| This is one of my favorite pictures of our trip. Found this little cafe behind this sweet Gothic church. Only ones eating outside at this omelette restaurant. So Parisian. Brooke was particularly pleased. |
 |
| Brooke is giving Jenny some major shade on this one! We're hanging out in the Conciergerie for this one! |
