Eiffel Tower

After we arrived in Paris, we checked in to our hotel. We stayed in La Défense, a business district in the Northwest part of Paris. We then took the Metro to the Champs Elysée Clemenceau stop and walked across and then along the river Seine. We walked toward the Eiffel Tower, but stopped at a little playground on the way. McKenzie got a kick out of the slide.



After a few times down the slide, we headed on to the Eiffel Tower. It was a pretty busy day, so we had to wait in line for tickets for about an hour and a half. The time passed quickly for me, though, cause McKenzie and I took a nap while we waited.


We went up to the very top of the tower. Mama got a little nervous on the elevator ride up, but once we got up there everyone was fine. It was a sweet view from up there. We could see the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, and all along the Seine. And from that high up, people look like sprinkles and cars look like candy.
