The next day was our last day of our trip. We went to Montmarte, the highest point of the city. One highlight of Montmarte is the beautiful Sacre Coeur Basilica and views of the city. We also walked around the streets making sure to take note of Picasso's home and other well-known attractions.
Moulin de la Galette
Moulin Rouge - don't worry - we were there in the daytime and I wasn't about to let Arthur get much closer!
We ended our day walking the Champs Elysees. We started at the Place de la Concorde. This square is the location where the guillotine stood during the French Revolution. King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were both dismembered here. Now there is a giant Egyptian obelisk to mark the spot. During the holiday season, there is also a ferris wheel. Unfortunately, due to the extremely low value of the dollar, we were unwilling to spend $30 to ride it!
Champs Elysees - 3 days till Christmas!
We celebrated our final evening in Paris by eating dinner in a restaurant! As I mentioned before, the dollar's low value made this trip very expensive! We found ourselves eating at roadside stalls for every meal to try to save some money. Unfortunately, even this "cheap food" cost us a pretty penny! So, even though this picture does not show my mood, I was quite relieved and happy to sit in a warm restaurant, be waited on by a nice waiter, and devour a hot meal!

It looks like you are deep in thought, and really appreciating the fantastic flavor of a $20 Coke.
So glad you two were able to have an enjoyable trip.
BTW you look terrific! (Don't deny it, just accept my compliment!) Glad you have that baby tracker in the corner of your blog or I would believe that you are pregnant. :)
Love the pictures. Can I request a repost of the whale watching trip? :)
Wow Kerri - what an amazing trip, it's so great that you and Arthur got to be in Paris together at Christmastime. Thanks for sharing the gorgeous pictures!
You look so beautiful in these pictures from your trip. I am so glad you had such a great time.
