Versailles

Here are the kids in the most famous room in Versailles, The Hall of Mirrors. It was used as a ballroom in the time of Louis XVI and is just stunning. Gold leaf covers the walls & ceiling, and most of the light fixtures and decorations in the room. The floors and mirrors are all original, as are most of the fixtures.
Look at that gorgeous girl! Welcome to Versailles!

The kids in front of the main gate. It was a 2 hour wait to get tickets. Rolf was in line, so we had plenty of time to take pictures! The day was gorgeous!


Our men making sure we don't get lost. The Paris subway is not quite as easy to navigate as the London tube system. But they did a great job, we always made it to our destination!

I didn't recognize Quinnie in a dress! Hope you had as easy of a trip flying home as you did going over. Looking forward to hear all about it in Sept.
