Back to Paris

We went back to Paris for a couple of nights after our vacation at the shore. We got to go see Grandma Jan and Grandpa Bill's new apartment in the Marais, which we all thought was very nice, and the neighborhood is great. Ben checked out one of the parks very near the apartment and approved. The very last morning we went to see the Eiffel Tower, which Ben found very exciting. He keeps telling us how it's a "really really big tower" and pointing it out in his Madeline book and on his souvenir t-shirt. He wanted to go up it but we didn't have enough time (and the lines looked nuts), so we've promised him we will go up next time we go to Paris.
