Olivia goes to Paris!

Boy- it's been a long time since the last post! Olivia's been keeping us busy lately, now that she's officially a toddler and walking everywhere... But a weekend (or 2 now) ago we finally got the chance to take advantage of our close proximity to the continent, and went to Paris for a long weekend. We took the eurostar train through the chunnel, and stayed at (first) Cousin (once removed) Kathy's apartment, which was fantastic. We all had a great time despite quite a bit of rain (turns out we were missing a great deal of rain back in England that weekend as well!).

Olivia loves fountains, and Paris didn't disappoint. This is also one of several pics at our flickr site.














Of course we went to see Notre Dame, but for some reason it didn't seem like a fun idea to spend an hour or more in a queue to get in, so we viewed it from afar.














Olivia slumbering through the rain (which for some reason doesn't show much in this picture) while strolling along the Seine. The cobblestones were pretty rough- it's amazing what she'll sleep through once she gets going!
