I ended my first day in London with a sunset ride on the London Eye - do you see Big Ben?
I sorta saw the Tower of London...
and took a canal ride on London's Little Venice from the Camden Lock after we went to St. Paul's Cathedral (where Princess Diana was married in 1981).
My last weekend in France was a happy one. Here we are at the Botanical Gardens in Tours. Can you find us in the wildflowers?
We took a short train ride to Amboise to visit the chateau Close-Luce where Leonardo da Vinci spent his last days working for Francois I of France.
The best part about visiting this small chateau is the park. It's a great place for kids like me to let out some steam and burn off some energy. I did have some fun moments with my Mommy and Mamaw.
I had to go to "time out" during lunch because I have a hard time staying seated and eating my entire meal. Despite the hiccup, we had a nice lunch in the gardens, and I found a cat to follow around (part of my distraction at lunch....). 
Visiting the Chartres Cathedral (UNESCO World Heritage Site) with my family! It is one of the oldest surviving cathedrals in France that hasn't been destroyed by war and houses part of the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary when she gave birth to Jesus.
Our tour guide (who did an excellent job), but wasn't too happy to see a baby in his group. Thankfully, I took a little nap during his lecture and caused zero problems.
The cathedral is undergoing a "cleaning" of sorts, look at the difference here!
We went to the town to see "Chartres en Lumieres" which is a festival of lights that are actually displayed as artwork over 26 public buildings around the city. VERY COOL! We rode "le petit train" to see all of the different displays.
Interesting shower in our hotel. I liked playing in here, but did not like the bathing part. A little scary with all of the jets!
Hanging around in mommy's kicks and my backpack
My friend Oliver that I met at the park
We spend lots of time in our little kitchen. I have my own little cups of ice cream and this bench seat that lets me move around a little bit, although Mommy wishes that I would learn how to sit down during meals.
Plenty of fun playgrounds near our house....
Tours has the oldest and largest flower market. I even saw a goat buying pastries while we were there!
One of my favorite activities in France is bird, cat and dog watching. I did what all tourists do on the square in front of the cathedral, I fed the pigeons!
This carousel is located within the most amazing park. This was my first solo carousel ride (since it's only made for little people). We have found lots of "aires des jeux" or outdoor play spaces for kids that are just my size in France, and this one takes first prize!
