Love that Eiffel Tower!

I think we went to the tower four times while we were there. It really is stunning. Huge and beautiful. We had decided not to book tickets online before we left for Paris. First mistake. We thought we would just see how the weather was a pick a nice day to go up. I mean. It's fall. And cold. It won't be busy....

Haha! Did I forget that France once owned a large portion of Northern Africa, where they are Muslim and speak french, and that it was Eid? That's like their Christmas break. And they like to go to France. Like me. ANNNNND. Did I mention it was a national holiday while we were there? I didn't. Oh. I will! Believe you me, you'll hear all about it when we go to Disneyland. *sob*sob*

Point of story? No printer at the house, so we couldn't print tickets. And the lines were never less than an hour and a half. Cold, wet days, and five kids in line for 90 minutes? No thank you.
I've been up twice and it is pretty. But to tell you the truth, the view of the tower itself is breathtaking. And that's what I wanted the kids to remember anyway. If you want to see what the view looks like, google away. Otherwise, you may now proceed:

Light show at night. It twinkles and spot lights abound.

This was fun. You should of seen us holding the kids as bay, it went like this, all said through my teeth while smiling:

"Stand over there! No. Not there. Now move a little that way." "Just a minute, mommy will be right there." "Quit hitting your brother!" "Sam, just take it!" "Someone grab Chach!"

We wanted one picture of just the two of us on this trip.

It was our last night in Paris.
