My kids are great in the car. They read, watch videos, and look for fun opportunities to laugh at with the family. When we get out at the rest stops – everyone has permission to go crazy! They can be loud, run, and make silly faces. Sometimes silly faces just seem to break the “serious” mode. I like their little personalities – laughing is such a stress reliever. At the hotel…can I just say “suites” are the way to go with large families with small children. Everyone had a place to sleep and a HOT breakfast! I can’t tell you enough how much I like “SUITES!” Isn’t this a neat building? It is in North Texas – Sulphur Springs, I believe. Another neat building. I have no idea what it is…might be a courthouse. I just love buildings that have painted signs on them!
Now for our unexpected trip to Paris! We totally woke up one morning and said “Today – why don’t we go to Paris?” All the kids agreed. We’ve been studying Europe and the Eiffel Tower for the past few weeks. This was the perfect opportunity to go. We didn’t even need passports!
Are you ready?
Welcome to Paris, TEXAS! Seriously, it is an Eiffel Tower with a cowboy hat. My kids looked at us like we were crazy!!! They knew this wasn’t the real one. They wanted to go to the top and there were no stairs or elevator!But, we still loved the rush. Any Eiffel Tower will do when you are in love! Yes, we are that for sure! I love my man! He makes me laugh and loves to please me by taking me to CRAZY places! Underneath the tower is a map of Texas. The underside! One last “in love” picture! Don’t you love the sign? In English and Spanish – no French here! We had to HURRY for this storm was on our tail! He was holding it back! What a strong man I have!
Blessings to you! You are loved!!!

I am totally with you on the ‘suites’ thing. We’ve been to the US twice on holiday (vacation!), and have stayed in suites in a number of places. they were awesome. (‘we’ are mum, dad and 4 kids)
Love, Anne x
