Lilly's Birthday cake, I'm proud to say I made it myself!


Note the hula ducky!

Lilly's 7th birthday Luau



Shorties getting low, low, low

Everyone loves a pinata

So I'm thinking the Pilots in France should pass on the wine at lunch!




The pilot said he hit a soft spot. Look closely at the tire marks in the grass. More like he ran straight 0ff the runway and got stuck in the grass. We were all deboarded, after 3 hours, and reassigned to new flights. Our travels were delayed but fortunately uneventful afterward. It's a little scary when you think about what could have happened!

People crowding to see Mona Lisa


















Austins had his share


















Candid shot of me mocking Medusa. Austin caught me!!


















Another "Power Nap"



















So, I guess he just dosen't share the same passion for art as I do, but atleast he went and stayed with me from open to close:)

Golf en France, notice the Authentic Chateau behind me, pic 2. I'm ready to move:)



I was agumentive about losing a day of histoire to GOLF!!! But, I was beautiful and serene. We played with a retired couple from St. pete, go figure!

Getting a portrait done in front of Centre Pompidou.



It came out ok, except one of my eyes is way too close to my nose and we look about 15! Hey, it was fun!

Jardin de Louxembourg... Mezmorizing!!! Even Austin was impressed!




We spent hours here. we took about 250 pics(digital) 52 on 35mm! None do it justice. For 2 nite I'll just load a few/ The connection here is SLOW!!! 20-30 mins. for 5 pics!

Pantheon (it was closed) still impressive from the outside.


Much debate took place between Austin and I as to which came first, this or El Duomo n Italy. I won! Paris copied the original. Austin even said, with pride, he knew because it was a huge leap in "engineering", blah, blah, blah. I was right!! Heehee
