Day 3 - Loving the Louvre

We wish we had allotted more time to view the truly magnificent art in the Louvre, but we had a pending train date, so we made the most of our time.
The Louvre is incredible!
The entire time we walked through the museum, we kept saying to each other,
"Wow...now this is art!"
The scale of some of the paintings and the sheer talent of the artists was mind blowing.
The Winged Victory of Samothrace
Art was everywhere...even the ceilings were incredible!

The textures in this piece were amazing!

Noah & Mom discussing what we saw...

All I can say is WOW!

People admiring the art...

I LOVE the fact that Noah at the age of 1 was able to see the Mona Lisa!

More ceiling art...

The Louvre is truly worth seeing!

Even the outside is beautiful!

Overall, the trip to Paris was amazing!
We are now trying to figure out the next time we can go back!
Forget what you have heard about Paris, it is truly a beautiful city and the French were great to us.
As they say, "no one waits outside in the cold with a baby to get into the Louvre" and they took us right in!

Wow, I bet that was incredible. That is one museum I would love to visit!! That is great that the Parisians were so nice, wonder why they get such a bad rep?!
