Paris (day 2) Valentine's Day

After a bit of a slow start in the morning, due to lack of sleep, we were off for another big day of sightseeing.  

Our first stop was the thinking man.



The next stop was Dome Church.



This is where Napoleon's tomb is.

Next stop, The Eiffel Tower!

After a chilly, ok, down right cold wait in line, we made it to the top.  Everyone was jealous of Avery, snuggled warm and asleep inside her sleeping bag and stroller.  

Views from the top.



Our timing worked out perfect and we were on the top level of the tower during sunset.
I even witnessed a proposal at the top of the tower.  They were very careful not to drop the ring off the side!


On the way down we stopped at the first level.  Check out the ice bar.




Our final stop for the day was the Arch de Triumph.


We finished the day with dinner in a restaurant we found on a side street off the Champs-Elysees.  The French tend to eat late so again we were lucky to find a place that had a table and the time to help us order.  The end of another great day.

I almost forgot.  Avery slept for an hour and a half in the crib and the rest of the night in our bed.  She was much more settled this night but still didn't want to have anything to do with the crib.
