Paris--The Palace of Versailles

 When looking for a hotel in Paris, we looked for cheap and close (to all the good stuff)...not necessarily the "Paris" experience.  Thus our "modern/game" themed hotel haha.


The bunk beds were like cupboards on the wall that you could close up and have your own little room.  Summer absolutely LOVED it...the older kids not quite as much 
(I think they all hit their head on it at some point)


Our first official day in Paris, we took a bus out to the Palace of Versailles...this was one of our very favorite days! One nice thing about the metro in Paris, is they have someone working at the ticket booth who can help you know what tickets you need to get where you want to go.  


Waiting in line to get it!


The painting on the ceiling was my favorite


So many HUGE paintings


There was a hallway of giant stone statues


Okay maybe the hall of windows was my absolute favorite--holy cow


Then the grounds...just breathtaking 



We rented golf carts so we could see more of the grounds (and by this point in the trip our feet were dead).  Best decision EVER!  So fun...the golf carts also commentated what we were seeing and stopped if you got too far off the path--genius!




There were so many gorgeous fountains


Can I just stay here forever?!


We saw a cute pizza place on our way into the palace, but then I'm not sure that was the same one we found on our way out, but this one was delicious!  Our first time ordering from an all French menu:)
