Paris 2010

Paris Basics in Pictures


Notre Dame


Patrick and Shannon's first trip outside the country, to Paris.

Air France and KLM really took care of us. They provided us our own row in overbooked flights, which made a huge difference in an eight hour trip with a 15 month old boy traveling as a lap-child. They moved people around to get us that extra seat. Our hotel also had a crib, which was big.

Shannon packed very light, no check-ins, two medium back-packs total (not even fully packed) and a small-compact umbrella stroller.

Patrick traveled like a champ and slept through all the nights. He experienced just a bit of jet lag when we got back to the States but adjusted after a couple of nights.



Hmmmm....
