What a month it's been! We've been so busy with Eric taking his boards, trying to sell our condo, trying to find a place to live in Florida, and planning a trip. I haven't had the time to blog.
I have been doing laundry for 2 days straight. As I am waiting on another load to dry, I thought it would be a good time to post some pictures of our trip.
Eric and I took a little trip to Paris last week. Leaving our little guy with Grandma in Utah. I was a little worried that he would be okay, but I took him down a few days early to acclimate him to the new surroundings. By the time I left, I was pretty sure he wouldn't notice if I was around. My mom had so many fun things planned for him he didn't have time to notice if I was around. She did a great job and I'm sure she needs a vacation herself now.
Here we are on the Champs Elysee in front of the Arch d'triumph. 
I was a little hesitant to stand in the middle of the street to take pictures. Luckily we didn't get hit. After we crossed the street, we walked over to a bench to rest. A few minutes later we heard a huge thump and Eric saw a lady flying through the air with her feet above her head. She had been hit by a car. Eric ran out to her in the middle of the street. She was amazingly still conscious and talking with only a very broken finger and a huge bruise on her head. Eric checked her out and when the police arrived they told him he could go. It was the craziest thing!
I must say that I am always filled with pride when I see Eric go into doctor mode. I don't see that side of him very often at home and I love that he is cool in a crisis and knows exactly what to do to help. I always feel safe when he's around. I'm so proud of him! (okay cheesiness over)
After that fiasco, we walked over to Angelina's for some hot chocolate. It is supposed to be one of the finest cups of hot chocolate in Paris. It was like drinking a candy bar. Delicious! Eric makes a better one though. :) **And thanks to Andrea for teaching me how to order water in a restaurant without getting an 8 dollar Evian bottle**
Paris is full of amazing buildings everywhere you turn. -Hotel De Ville
Notre Dame
Versailles-- Hall of Mirrors
Versailles has acres of gardens that we walked through. Here is one of the fountains.
And some not so great art... I think this one is called three white squares.
At the Louvre
They don't know who carved this center statue but they think it must have been a kindergarten teacher. :)
Eric's best Easter Island impression
As you can see Eric was very into posing like the artwork. He really wanted to do "the Kiss" too, but unfortunately we didn't know the French for "will you take a picture of us while we make out like this statue" otherwise I totally would have done it....
We are glad to be home, Thank you Eric for taking me to Paris. I guess this means the next trip is Tibet.
