Trip to France

My trip to France has come and gone!

I'm back from my trip to France. I can't believe that it is already over! It seemed like so long waiting for the trip and our time there just flew by! I had a great time and really hated to leave and return to the 'real world'! Right now I'm trying to recuperate from the lack of sleep, constant walking, and jet lag, so I haven't had time to post anything about the trip yet. Over the next few weeks, I will post some pictures and entries from my travel journal.

First Up: The Eiffel Tower and Napoleon's Tomb

I'm Going to France!

  

One Week!
I'm going to France! I get to help chaperone a group of students on their trip to France. I am so excited!
I only have two more days to work for this school year and I have 6 days until I leave for France! The end of school is always great! We all need a break from our routine of lesson plans, duty, school activities, and the students and teachers need a break from each other. But this year the excitement of packing for my trip makes this end of school year very different. Usually, I'm making lists of things to do around the house for the summer, but I haven't even started that list. I've been getting together luggage, wardrobe, passport, and money for this trip. So I don't have any new art right now, but hopefully, when I return from 'the trip' I will have lots of ideas and reference photos to work from. Here is a photo of the Eiffel tower (obviously) in 2004 when my daughter went to France.
