Today we went to the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana to see "Lucy"she's kind of famous and my son was very excited. It was very fun and interesting, such a lovely museum. But..... of course this was my favorite part.
If you live in the area and have the time you should stop by and check the museum out. They had an absolutely adorable Maurice Sendak display too.

Springtime in Paris is lovely. Duh! But seriously, the entire trip the weather was lovely. Apparently it rained for days before we arrived and then rained again for days soon after we left. But, lucky for me, I was able to get some beautiful pictures to go along with the memories.

This is where we went on our first whole day in Paris. Let me just say, every single day we were in Paris we had absolutely amazing weather. I mean 75 and sunny with a lovely breeze all day. It didn't even get dark there until after 10pm.

I'm back from Paris!
Well.... I've actually been back for a week but it has taken me this long to get caught up
I've got soooo many pictures and stories to tell but for now, this is an adorable pink building across the street from Notre Dame nearer to the Latin Quarter. I just couldn't resist grabbing a snapshot of it because of its color.
