For the second day in Paris we made sure to relax a little more for the pregnant one's sake. One of the things we liked the most was being able to tour the Louvre. Our favorite things we saw were: The Mona Lisa, Madonna on the Rocks, The Supper at Cana, mummy artifacts, and tons more. Afterwards, we walked through the amazing Jardin des Tuileries that run from the Louvre to the Arch de Triumph and found a quiet, grassy area to take a nap on; I think that was the best nap I've ever had! We then went to the catacombs and were unfortunately unable to get to Versailles in time. We then took a night time river boat tour on the Seine that was absolutely breathtaking! We also walked the gardens of the Notre Dame and ate at a little French restaurant facing the back of it. One of our favorite things was taking a little break on the Pont des Arts and Pont de l'Archevêché, two bridges near the Louvre that are fully covered on both sides by "love locks". On these bridges you buy a lock, write your initials on it, lock it up to the bridge, and throw away the key as to symbolize your eternal love.
On our way home, we took a 24 hour layover in Minneapolis and had a great date night at The Mall of America. We first went to eat dinner at Famous Dave's and I think its safe to say that Jess LOVED it! The we got some ice cream while we explored the amusement park, and finally we went shopping and had a great time picking out good and bad outfits for each other. Sometimes its nice to have a date night alone to remind us how we fell in love at first. :)
