It starts in the morning when you put on your favorite "These Colors Don't Run" Stars and Stripes T-shirt and hurry the family out of the hotel to get to Louvre. After spending three of the best hours of your life and getting in trouble for taking a picture of the Mona Lisa it’s a hurry across the street to eat the McDonalds Louvre. After all, you have no time to waste on a long lunch as you have to make it to the Notre Dam, proving to your wife that the cost of the museum pass is worth it's weight in gold.
From there its a drag race down the left bank as you can see the Eiffel Tower and the you have to prove Rick Steves wrong by seeing three monuments in a day! Eiffel done the kids are exhausted and the wife is cranky, but you'll be damned not to have a dinner at a fine Parisian sidewalk cafe..."hey honey Bistro Romaine looks good" Beef Carpacio, oooh-la- la, C’est magnifique
Back at the hotel mom passes out way before the midnight soft porn comes on the telly, and dad regrets pushing mom to that third monument and 2nd glass of paint varnish...err house red at the "bistro". Oh well, at least tomorrow dad gets to see Morrisons Grave, the Arc de Triomphe and maybe, just maybe, they'll find the Starbucks on the way to the Bateaux-Mouches...
