![Day 12: Paris, or as Wesley calls it, the city of “lady parts.” 😂 He’s in that body-aware stage, which has made the plethora of penises obvious for him. We’ve had so many awkward chats about public hair and why women are always covered but men aren’t on this trip. And then France delivered for him! 🤦♀️

It was short, but wonderful - we will be back! Because we came via cruise, and the port is 2 1/2 hours from the city, it meant we only had half a day... which is no time at all in a big city full of history, architecture, culture, and art. But we packed it full!
.
We walked along the Seine River and had a personal tour by the on-site history expert, Matthew, from where our bus let-off to the Louvre. The almost mile provided rich sights we were able to take in with a slower paced walk than usual. I didn’t know the @museelouvre used to be a palace, and it was expansive and ornate as such. The gardens were welcoming spring and just lovely!
.
We pre-purchased tickets to the museum, which I highly recommend - it saved a ton of time. But it was still CRAZY packed inside! My mom is a huge art history buff and we could barely see a small percentage of what we wanted. So, we’ll just have to go back! I’d love to also visit Vienna and Amsterdam, maybe Ireland depending on how long we have. Klimt is in Vienna tho, and that’s a bucket list item for me.
.
We had planned to go to @nogluparis for GF baguette and croissant after, but ran out of time - so we were thrilled to see @maisonladuree on our way out of the museum! The macaroons were a perfect treat for our way back to the boat!
.
Tomorrow we disembark and finish our trip with a few days in London. I’m SO excited since I’ve never been, but also so sad it means our trip will be coming to an end. We have 3 full days in England before we board the plane back to the US on Friday. I’ll miss Europe, but this is just the beginning to more QT with the boys!

[edited to add] I myself have an affinity for gothic architecture, and it was one of the most famous and stunning in the world. I made light of our personal tragedies, but this is just so terribly sad.](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/c41909aa208c8c817d3c1a17d5e78749/5D74887A/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/56842953_271795880372013_2250168735329312571_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "Day 12: Paris, or as Wesley calls it, the city of “lady parts.” 😂 He’s in that body-aware stage, which has made the plethora of penises obvious for him.
