Day by Day... in random order

June 26th 2009 (day 2)

We arrived in Venice pretty late. This was taken with our new camera purchased in Rome after our other two camera's became non-functional. We are traveling to our hotel on the "floating taxi." What a awesome sight, Venice at night!

Brian is hot and overwhelmed with the history of this town in this picture. Even the restored portions of Rome are way older than the United States. This is also pre-sunglasses so he is squinty eyed Brian here, I set the camera up on a ledge to take this photo. AMAZING

Last day in Paris, at sunset we walked down to the Eiffel Tour for a ice-cream. Brian at this point has been away from home and his kids for over 2 weeks. This is a "I am glad this is my last night" Tourettes is starting to take a hold of him at this point and I try to keep him away from the French people. He does look handsome sporting his Italian Shirt! I think there were more people at sunset than touring during the day. I guess people all come to the park and have a picnic every night in front of the Eiffel Tour.

This is when tears came to my eyes. I was able to climb in the co-pilot's seat for a change and watch my husband fly over the "pond." What a amazing experience for me as his wife to be able to sit by his side as we fly over the clear blue waters "single pilot" landing in Iceland. He is a wonderful husband, and a amazing pilot! Happy Birthday Charlee!

Day by Day Journal

Day by Day... I decided that I would do a journal of our trip, well mainly of Brian and his many looks! Or what Mom likes to call the "Brian Look" with a European back drop... oh and I couldn't get them to download in order so, well sorry!

This is the "I told you it was beautiful" look. Brian came to Paris last year so he had some experience in what to go see and do. This is the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur, or the Church of the Sacred Heart! The basilica (Church) is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city (Paris). Needless to say it was quite a walk to get to the base of the basilica, then we climbed the many many stairs to the Church only to go below the church to get to the 291 stairs going up to the top.

This is the "tour guide" Brian look! He was so great to keep us in full speed so I didn't miss a thing. We are under the Eiffel Tour, about to head across the Seine River to Charles De Gaulle Place, where stands the Arc de Triomphe then down Champs-Élysées, a beautiful Avenue with some very expensive shopping.

I love this Brian look, this is the "I love my wife" look. Well actually it is probably the "my wife is crazy" look but it is a look I see often so I prefer to think of it as the "I love my wife" look. We are sitting on a bridge in Venice and I snapped this photo of the two of us! Maybe this is the "happy anniversary" look!
