Port of Call: Le Havre, France
This morning we docked in Le Havre…
about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Paris. Hubby and I were last in Paris on our honeymoon nearly 15 years ago...
and though it is a long drive away from the port, we opted to head into the city to show our kids the big sights...
When you only have one day, you hit up as many of the big spots as you can, so we took a shore excursion, arranged by the ship, while my mother stayed back in Le Havre to rest up some. You know, we've always wanted to instill a love of travel in our kids, and a sense that there is more to the world than what we see and do every day.
So, after our trip in, we headed straight for the Eiffel Tower...
M was especially excited to check off something on her "bucket list" (or rather the list she completed as a school assignment in honor of the 100th day - "Things to do before I'm 100")…
"Take a selfie with the Eiffel Tower"...
DONE!
From there, we headed up to the first level...
to for a special lunch at 58 Tour Eiffel...
After lunch, we wandered around a bit...
We didn't make it up to the tippy top like last time...
as we were quickly on to our next stop, The Louvre...
where we again, hit up the main pieces.
Winged Victory...
Venus de Milo...
She's really aged well over the last 15 years. I must learn her secrets...
So, the last time I was at The Louvre it was in December, and might I recommend NOT going in the summer for several reasons... 1) it is HOT 2) there are too many people 3) they will trample you 4) it is HOT 5) it is HOT...period.
But, with all that being said, there's NO way we could've done all that we did do without our guide and her fast tracking us into everything!
Headed to LONDON tomorrow...
More {EUROPE} 2018 Fun
