We did it!

We're back after a magical 16 day trip to France.  It was not easy to post on the blog while we were there, so I'm adding posts that will share some of the different experiences by topics like the metro, meals, hotels, our French friends, highlights of what we saw and of course more beauty shots of flowers and countryside.

Here are some of the group shots of the amazing places we were able to visit.  Looking at these, it all comes back.  What a trip!

Where else but Monet's garden?

After our visit to the Louvre

Bobby was thrilled that the Bonnard exhibit was at the Musee d'Orsay!

On the bridge heading over to the Musee d'Orsay - locks cover the bridge placed for years by lovers making vows

In front of Monet's Garden - so picturesque

The Musee d'Orsay  with barges on the Seine River

Bateau Mouche ride on the Seine - Notre Dame behind us.  The weather was PERFECT!

Climbing the steps at Notre Dame - oh how we walked!
