Believe it or not we went to Paris for our vacation this summer. Cousin/Uncle Ryan got married to his beautiful bride Mandi - and Gavin was 1 of 2 ring bearers. Here are some photos of the wonderful memories we made. Congrats to Ryan and Mandi and thanks to both of them for letting us share in their very special day!
Gavin's playhouse, that is what he called our business class seats on the way to Paris. We flew British Airways.
There was a gas spill (a little scary) and we had to leave the plane. Luckily they had a nice lounge for us to hang out in. Gavin entertained the upset passengers and did a great job taking their mind off the fact that we departed 2 hours later than expected.
A picture with all 3 of us is about as good as we can get; all 3 looking at the camera - now that would be a miracle. Thanks to Barb's mom for making the dress, it was perfect for the little belly.

Waiting for the ceremony to start.
Pictures at the Eiffel Tower, that doesn't happen every day. We voted, Gavin was the most handsome (sorry Ryan, you were a close second).
It rained cats and dogs, but didn't take away from the beautiful bride, handsome groom, and spectacular day. That's what makes memories, right?
A little too much excitement; he didn't even make it to dinner. He was a champ though!
Family brunch the day after the wedding. So much food and a beautiful restaurant.
This was inside the restaurant, the wall was covered with plants - way cool!
Playground in Paris.
Gavin's first Merry-Go-Round ride. He picked the train. Didn't really understand he couldn't ride it and ride it and ride it - well without mommy buying more tickets. He loved it!
On top of the Arc de Triomphe. Gavin was obsessed with the Eiffel Tower, asked about it any time he didn't see it in his sight. Still talking about it weeks later - we've created a traveling monster.

A ladybug landed on G's hand, he (and all of us) watched it climb up and down and around his fingers - cutest thing ever. Didn't capture the ladybug in the picture, but it's there.
Jason and Mom in Bruges, Belgium. We took a train; what an adorable city.
Jason and Cole at Versailles. We took a day trip here as well. Got some great family pictures.
Mom & Gram at the entrance to Palace of Versailles.
Gavin called the trees like this party hats. Next to the Eiffel Tower it was his second favorite thing in Paris.

Jason took a day trip with Auntie, Uncle, Gram, and Cole to Normandy.

On the flight home we were in First Class. No Gavin didn't have his own seat, he just took over Barb's seat. A regular frequent flyer. Now whenever we board a plane he asks where the TV is.
Kicked Barb out of her seat completely, but who could resist this adorable little guy.
Took us about 2 weeks to get back to the routine and the AZ time zone. It was a great trip and we once again have memories to last a lifetime.
It seems you guys had a wonderful time in Paris, and Gavin is such a good little boy. By the way you look radiant pregnant....thank you for sharing your trip with us.
