What a looooong day it's been! We left the hustle & bustle of Paris and headed out into the French countryside. We went to Chenonceau to see it's beautiful castle, gardens and maze. We went to the lovely little town of Amboise for a quick lunch and a tour of the castle. Saw where DaVinci lived at one time. Then headed to Chartres to see the beautiful cathedral and it's stained glass windows. It was a lot of bus time, but it was good napping time for the kids.
Once we got back to town, we headed off to dinner and had to get crepes afterwards.... yummmmm!!!! I then took my kids and walked around the city, heading towards the Tower to see it Sparkle... we didn't get to see it the other day and they wanted to watch it. It sparkles for 5 minutes every hour on the hour starting at 11. We sat on the bridge by the Plaza de la Concorde was awaited the twinkle lights... breathtaking... We then walked down the Champs so the kids could drool over all the amazing stores. It was a bit late, because we missed the last metro, so we took cabs home. All went well and I think they enjoyed their city tour via cab. :)
It's been so icky, rainy & cold here... am looking foward to warmer weather in Spain.
Happy Father's Day!!

I heard there was serious flooding in the French Riviera, so I guess you can be glad you weren't there. Take care, and have fun in Spain. The rain in Spain lies mainly in the plain. ;-)
Steph -- Your blog is a great way to have people at home follow along on your adventures. Looks like your kids are enjoying their trip, and how could they not!? Hope we get to travel together again some time.
