Day 1 (Wednesday)

After a morning nap, we settled in.  During the afternoon we tried to start exploring, but a small bathroom crisis brought us home briefly.  (Thankfully, not before getting two delicious baguettes.)

After dinner we tried again.  And we ended up in the Champ de Mars as the sun set.

As we walked away from the Eiffel tower towards the river, we looked back to see it sparkling, completely magical.  We wandered down along the Seine and back home again, finding some croissants for our bedtime snack.

(And proceeded to try to get not super sleepy kids to sleep... Let's forget that part.  And its sequel between 4 and 7...)
