The Boys Do Paris





Kind of sad, but my kids took their first trip to Paris without me. I had to travel for work back to the US and the timing worked out that the kids and Tracy, her folks and sister and nephews could take the Eurostar down to both EuroDisney and Paris for a few days. They were unlucky with the weather (cold), unfortunately, but still saw and did a lot. Disney was beautiful but evidently the French employees didn't get the memo on delivering Disney-quality service. My boys had been talking for months about wanting to see the Eiffel Tower and I gather that they were not disappointed. They came home talking about the double-decker elevator that took them to the top. Paris is an amazing city for parks (for kids and pigeons alike), which the boys and their cousins got to experience. Also sounds like they got to experience a generous portion of typical Parisian rudeness, which is unfortunate. It's an amazing city, but would be even more so without some of the local attitude.
