so we have an 11 year old neighbor girl who comes over often to play with Oliver in the backyard. She is also on Facebook and both Ben and I are friends with her. So Facebook has all these applications that you can find out like warrior of the day, friend of the day, etc. I think it randomly selects people on your friends list and then puts up a notification. Last night I saw this:
So I keep my itouch in my purse at all times-when I am bored or need entertainment I can play one of my bazillion games. Anyways...I put my itouch in a little ipod sock while in my purse so it does not get scratched:
so what have we been up to around here since we got back? well...catching up on sleep and getting back into life.. The most exciting thing I have done all week was the REI garage sale this morning. Nikki and I went and stood in the rain/snow for a half hour to get good deals..and amazingly good deals we got--the snow and rain was totally worth it. I added up the amount of my purchases at a normal price---727.00 and I paid just under 200. Awesome. The 2 best buys were a $200 North Face Jacket for 30 bucks-with a supposedly broken zipper. I put a little beeswax on the zipper and it seems to work just great-which is awesome. I also got a pair of $110 Keen boots for 30 bucks..I have wanted theses for awhile just didn't want to pay that much for them.. Nikki and I came away quite excited. So here is a picture list of some of the great deals for ben and me:
We are home and I could not be happier:) We had such an awesome trip but there is always something good about coming home---especially after a 9 hour flight. Our flight was fairly uneventful-just full of some odd people. We were able to keep ourselves awake until 10 last night (and thank goodness for daylight savings time and the extra hour) and slept in til about 8 this morning and it was WONDERFUL. We have both felt rather awake and normal today so I am hoping we beat the worst of the jet lag. Now it is back to reality and real life. Here are the last pictures from Paris...our little cozy hotel room the morning we left:
We did it! We conquered Paris:) So our final day is over and we are exhausted....actually quite ready to go home. So....here is rundown of today thanks to Ben: First we went to Cimitiere de Pere-Lachaise which was full of so many cool old graves, then we took the train to Luxembourg Jardins which would probably be much prettier in the summer-but still neat, found a cool bookstore and bought a few kids books in french, went to the Louvre Gardens, went to another cool bookstore and bought a couple more books, hopped back on the train, went to see Hotel des Invalides, next door was Musee Rodin-which was such a cool museum-saw The Thinker and many other great works, our last stop of the day was the Eiffel Tower. We ended up walking up the stairs because the line for the elevator was almost 2 hours long so we walked-and it was not nearly as bad as I thought and actually kinda cool. So..we made it to the first floor and Ben convinced me to walk to the 2nd floor-and didn't think I could make it-but I did...and then we took an elevator to the very tip top..and it was an amazing view. We ended our night at a nice little cafe near our hotel and a walk down the street with the Moulin Rouge... and now its time to pack up for our flight back home tomorrow!!
