This year for New Year's we decided to do the same old same old. HA! We headed to Paris for a few days. We took a bus trip, and left Monday night around 11:30 p.m. We drove all night and arrived in Paris Tuesday morning. We had breakfast, and then about an hour to clean up and we headed out for the day. First we went to Notre Dame. It was absolutely beautiful. Then we drove up to an area where you could take pictures of the Eiffel Tower. That evening we had an authentic French dinner. New Year's Eve day we headed out and went to Versailles, and then the Louvre. That evening we had another traditional French dinner and then went to the Champs Elysee for New Year's Eve. The bus picked us back up around 12:45 a.m. Then, on New Year's Day we went up into the Eiffel Tower and took a boat tour of the Seine River.
On New Year's Eve when the year changed over to 2009 the Eiffel Tower lit up like it was sparkling, and there were some fireworks. It was really cool.
The pictures are Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Versailles, and the Louvre. I don't have pictures of New Year's Eve, or up in the Eiffel Tower because my camera battery died on New Year's Eve Day. I had taken a transformer for my hair dryer, curling iron, and camera battery, but the transformer blew on the first day...(you read that right, I really had no way of fixing my hair the whole time! Lucky Jamie, he has such a low maintenance wife, lol) We found a place that had a disposable camera, but I still have to get the film developed...going back to the good old days:) Hopefully, they turned out nice, and I will post them later.
