Daddy really is a hopeless romantic at heart. Today was a relaxing day in Paris, we slept in a little and decided to go to Palace Versalies - just outside of Paris. Oma had gone there a long time ago with my dad, so I wanted to see what it was all about. We took the metro around 10am and arrived to find a HUGE line. After standing in line for about an hour and a half, we got up to the entrance and booked a special guided tour of the palace. The tour was nice, took us through the different rooms and showed us some beautiful things.
One of the most impressive things was this clock. It was built to run until the year 9999. It has been running and just has to be wound once a month - it was precise. Amazing and very beautiful. After walking through the house and the Opera house that was built from wood to look like marble, we moved onto the gardens out in the back. Here is where the romance starts. They had an area where you could rent a row boat and row up and down the "water way." Daddy wanted to do it - I of course thought he was crazy. But there we were, in the middle of the water and I think it was our favorite part of the time in Paris. We just loved it. What a great view of the Palace and it was so nice and relaxing. Way to go Daddy!
