Bonjour Paris!

A TRIP FOR THE BOOKS:  My grandmother, mother, sister and I are having an incredible experience at the palace of Versailles in France. My grandmother took the women of my family on a trip to Europe this summer. We visited London and Paris, seeing all that the cities had to offer. Versailles’ gardens were spectacular to see in person after waiting my whole life to visit them. I’ve wanted to visit Paris since I was a little girl so this trip truly was a dream come true. 
My sister Virginia said, “My favorite part was all the statues.” Throughout the garden we could see statues of famous people and art created by fascinating artists. The body of water seen near the top of this photo was a gorgeous pond where the wind blew ripples across its surface. And even though it was too cold at the time for the fountains to be turned on and show us their beauty, we were in awe of the gold accents along the edges. Such a memorable trip!
