We headed straight to the Louvre and had a very low amount of crowding, which we were awesome. We saw some of the famous stuff and selected a few other favorites. With 300,000 works of art, you definitely need to pick and choose!

| Napoleon's Dining Room. Since the Louvre is also a former castle there are historic rooms to visit. |
From there we headed to a smaller museum called L'Orangerie. In this museum are the huge Monet waterlily paintings that surround and fill two rooms. We were looking forward to this as earlier in the week we had seen the actual ponds that inspired Monet at Giverny.
We finished our last day in Paris by wandering the streets and enjoying some of the fun street kiosks. The kids bought some special souvenirs. Phillip, ever the good sport, bought a Tete de Veau poster that featured a large calf head on a platter. Apparently he isn't too traumatized by the Tete de Veau evening!
For dinner we had a great evening meal with Neal, Janie and all their kids and grandkids. Then it was time to pack up and head north in the morning.
