    What a special day you had together! Tiring for you, but memories never forgotten, especially by Carson. He’ll always remember this trip. And while touristy, the Seine boat cruise is a must for everyone at some point in a visit to Paris.
    Thanks for making time to include us every day. I, and others, so look forward to your adventures and pictures. A big thank-you, Linda.

    Following your blog daily as always, Linda, but especially enjoying the pure joy you are obviously feeling in sharing Paris with Natalie and Carson! Such a legacy to give them the love and spirit for adventure and travel especially in a city you so dearly love. We just returned from two weeks in Italy and took our oldest grandson, Dylan, so I’ve felt much of the same. Keeping a list of new sites in Paris as you share them for our next trip so thank you again. So happy for you and Bernie–enjoy every minute of your time there and thanks for sharing it all with us!

      Thanks for your sweet comments, Carol. I so remember when Dylan was born. Where does the time go?

    The staircase of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont are outstanding. I’m enjoying the pictures of Parians, many which are smiling back at us. I bet you have had many request for the 2 year picture comparisons of Carson. How did he get talker, while Natalie didn’t age at all. I still don’t understand how the sailboats work. Do you just push the out and wait for them to comge back someplace around the pool? Carson pizza looked the best. I’m glad you worked Medici fountain in – the group shot was a good way to do it. Good day.

      Yes, you were exacting correct about the sailboats. I think it’s so neat that even at 14, he enjoyed it. He’s not Mr. Cool yet! He’s eaten everything in sight.

    Loved your West Bank day! So many photos I want to comment on but my favorite is the school group in front of the red fire station doors! That is a prize winning photo! Loved the views from the cruise boat. Need to know which metro station that was? Cluny? The Eiffel Tower with the day moon is a perfect catch. Can’t believe how much Carson has grown in two years! I imagine you are glad to not be the person keeping him in clothes and shoes that fit! He is a very handsome young man, and seems to be a wonderful companion.
