One of the great (and not so great) things about my job, I get to travel again. Prior to having kids, I LOVED traveling, now I view it as a mixed blessing, given the choice, I would not go anywhere without my family, but since my new job requires some travel, I make the most of it when I go. The good news, I typically get to go to cool places, places that open your eyes to the world and help me think beyond my own little state of being.
June found me in once such place, Berlin, followed by my favorite city in the world, Paris. I talked Beth into leaving the boys behind and joining me for a weekend in Paris. To say it was worth it is an understatment. In many ways we needed this trip, it worked. It was also Beth's first trip outside of North America, I hope it impacted her the same way my first trip outside the US did.
I found a great hotel one street over from the Eiffel tower, this was the view from our balcony. It was magical.
Hotel La Bourdonnais, on Avenue La Bourdonnais was perfect.
Here is the view from "the Dome Church" where Napolean is buried, also a few streets over from our hotel.The Latin Quarter, one of my favorite sections of Paris.
You can find all of our Paris pics here.
