We got up Thursday and met up with Isabelle to tour the Louvre! Our travel planner had also set up a scavenger hunt with another company which…was not good. We gave it a good try but the kids just weren’t interested in racing through the Louvre to try and find specific paintings or take silly pictures. We much preferred to wander with Isabelle’s guidance and have her tell us all sorts of interesting facts and information about various pieces. She was a treasure trove of knowledge – she studied at the Sorbonne and 4 years at the Louvre after all!
One of the few stupid scavenger hunt pics we had to take…I was a good sport!
This is kinda how we all felt about the scavenger hunt! ha!
We did have just enough fun checking out all of the cool art!
Of course Maxwell took all kinds of great photos!
A favorite painting of all of ours – two sided!
We finally made our way to the Mona Lisa…with everyone else.
But when you’re little and determined you can get up to the front!
After that much culture, the kids needed to take the sophistication down a notch so opted for some McDonalds for lunch! They deserved it!
More to come tomorrow!

Those items are classics, I only saw pictures of these until a couple of years ago This is what travel is about, new experiences and classic art. I’m glad that you are having this experience.

Another great day in the City of Lights!
