Le Apartment

Rebecca and Rachel, and their boyfirends, Jeremy and Will, had rented an apartment for the week in Paris, on Boulevard Sebastopol, 3rd Arrondisement, about two blocks or so from the Pompidiou, four or five from the Seine, a great location. It was their home and family headquarters. Vicki and I stayed, as always, at the campground in the Bois Boulogne, a bit further out, a bus ride and then the Metro, but quite manageable. It is still one of the best and most popular campgrounds in Europe. Anyhow, we spent the week in Paris, sometimes together, especially meals, sometimes apart given different interests and priorities. The succeeding posts will capture some of what we did and where we visited. It was a most memorable family vacation.
Rachel had put together a large bound notebook of Paris 
and France resouces, sites, maps, timetables, descriptions, 
etc., and this itinerary, which we adjusted for weather and 
other exigencies

Your vacation with the girls and their beaux sounds so wonderful. We did all those things with Jason and Cara about 10 years ago just before Jason left for Dallas. We knew it would be our last big family vacation, so made the most of it. We are loving your photos and adventures.
