Europe Day 5 Part 2

We toured the inside of Versailles, which is just a little over the top. I mean how big of an ego can one person have? The pictures don't do it justice. It's gold swirls and flowery stuff everywhere.

Hall of mirrors



Where's Annie? Can you find her among the crowd in the hall of mirrors



After leaving Versailles we spent the afternoon shopping. I got some cute tops, Annie bought a red dress and Trisha came along for the ride :)

Next was a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Annie only wanted to go to the middle level - she doesn't like heights - but we talked her into coming to the top, which I think she's glad she did.
