After an 8 hour bus/ferry ride we arrived in Paris. Tired, sleepy and in a country where we didn't fully know the language, my family and I decided to take it easy the first day. The first thing we did after leaving our luggage at the hotel was find a bakery and buy fresh chocolate croissants. I don't know why but the chocolate croissants are just ten times better in Paris than in the U.S. We then hopped over to the Museum of Natural Science and the Museum of Natural History. Both are very interesting places and I highly recommend them if you are looking for something to do for a relaxed or rainy day in Paris. The next day we headed over to see the Eiffel Tower. The elevators were broken at the time so we had to walk up the 600+ steps, which made us appreciate the view that much more. After some lunchtime crepes we went to see the Arch de Triomphe, did some shopping on the Avenue des Champes-Elysees and finished the day with a French dinner that included delicious escargot. Enjoying the first of many chocolate croissants during our stay in Paris Touring the Museum of Natural Science The Museum of Natural History- I just loved the museum layout Playing around with the settings on my camera Views from the first level- you definitely appreciate it a lot more after walking up the stairs We love crepes Arch de Triomphe Channeling my inner Rose from Titanic Escargot- so delicious despite what people may think
