While living in Europe it was almost impossible not to go to Paris. It was only about 3 hours from both of our duty stations. One semester J was taking an art history course for his bachelors and we went just to visit museums. I specifically remember the Musee du Moyen Age, Musee d'Orsay, and Musee du Louvre. The Louvre is huge and was amazing but our 6 hours of walking only allowed us to see about 1/3 of the museum. We saw so much art that trip! I enjoyed that holiday although in the moment there were many hiccups and obstacles, traveling with small children can make things very interesting. None the less, I think it is very important for my boys to have an appreciation for all the arts so when I saw that 600 museums were giving free admission to military over the summer I got pretty excited. Sadly Las Vegas doesn't seem to have any museums or any that participate but maybe there is a museum in your area.

I love Paris. I think I need to go again this summer.
ReplyDeleteTwo of those museums are an hour away...not sure if we'll go, but thanks for the info!!! WISH I could have gone to the Louvre!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Memorial Day! Thanks J for serving, and to you Steph for standing by his side!
