Viva La France!

Some people thought we were crazy, but we just knew we HAD to go.  Here is a list of some reasons we used to convince ourselves it was a Sharp family NECCESSITY to go to France for Spring Break:

1. We needed to use Lilly and Emmett's new passports - what's the point in having them if they are only gathering dust in some drawer?

2.  Easter services at the Notre Dame is a once in a life time event

3.  Lilly has been asking FOREVER to see the Eiffel Tower - we didn't want to be responsible for destroying a little girl's dream!

4.  I've never been to Paris in the Springtime.

5.  Eric hadn't had a chance to properly show off his mission sites to his children yet.

What better reasons could we have to fly half way around the world with two preschoolers and a teenager?

Paris in the Springtime was fun, but wet.

And planning on Easter at Notre Dame ended up being one of those things that only occur in Fantasy World!  The line wrapped around the building and down the street several blocks!  Oh well, it was a fun thought.

The Eiffel Tower was a huge hit though!

Lilly's lifelong dream has finally come true!

We also visited the Louvre and gazed lovingly on The Mona Lisa!

After leaving Paris we had quite an adventure traveling around France.  We stayed in Chateaus, medieval cities, and even rented an apartment.  We saw Mont St. Michelle, Versaille, Lascoux, and many other wonderful places.  Enjoy a few of our favorite pictures!
