Quick Update France ETC. Trip

DH getting a quick shot of the DD's.

 I thought these two, while bad, are representational of the trip so far. It is Thursday and we will b heading for Versailles. We've had some family tension, traveling with five people, two very independent young adults,can add different dynamics than travelling with younger kids. Add to that a mom and dad who needed more down time than we have give ourselves so far and we are tweaking expectations. Overall, so far has been good. We tried to overdue yesterday, and are learning. 
My attempt capturing the kids on an afternoon stroll.

After visiting Notre Dame and climbing the tower-woah, thought I was going to tumble down stairs, we were famished. We found a 10 Euro Menu and gave it a try. Service was attentive, though it took forever for the main dish, but three courses were very good. Here is my soup. DS had a mussels, frites, and a beer for 10. He loved the mussels. This is just a snippet so you know we arrived and are doing well. Perhaps another post with better pictures soon.

    A 10 Euro menu! I never found any of those when we were there. Yeah, travelling with family can be interesting, downtime helps though :)
