Our rented apartment in Brooklyn last month, where we stayed for ten days, had some interesting decor. It freaked out Eliot a little!

Bedroom one
Bedroom Two- cute little corner
This little two bedroom in the Gowanus/Park Slope area was at the top floor of a four story walk-up. The masks, antlers, religious paintings and sheep heads were very new to my five year old. There was even a handmade upside down zombie head lamp on the kitchen table. When we walked in to the space for the first time after our red-eye from Portland Eliot looked right at it and said, "Look Mommy, a dead guy." I quickly turned this little piece of art around so we didn't have to stare at him while we ate.
Have a beautiful weekend! It's as dark as can be outside here in PDX!
Yes, that's what I wrote, 'outfits'. I bought this for Eliot in a store in New York on the upper west side. It's called Bit'Z Kids: http://bitzkids.com/store/ and I just love their clothes. Enjoy!
The same day we took in the sights of 'Amelie' we went to the Picasso museum. No photos are allowed inside but outside there are some really creative photo opps. Enjoy! I think this is officially the last Paris post! I've enjoyed doing these so much. I hope it's made your heart smile too.

We spent some time at a beautiful spot where some shots from the movie 'Amelie' was shot in Paris. Here are a few:

This shop (right down the street from the previously mentioned vegan restaurant) had handmade art from Portland! So cute to find it in Paris. And more photos of cuteness...

Oh that Paris sky

One of our favorite restaurants right across the street from our hotel
Now that's a fountain.
The first time we tried to go to the Louvre it was a free day and the line wrapped around the pyramid and way out into the square. Insane amounts of people, we almost got pick pocketed by a very clever, charming, dirty and disgusting guy, and then we got out of there fast. So here are some photos from this amazing place. Just please, don't go in the summer time on a free day. Just don't.
Outside, of course.
Inside
From the inside
So excited
Eliot was excited too. It is enormous. The stairs and statues go on and on.
View from atop the Louvre at the cafe.

Explaining some of this to Eliot was tricky.
More Diana.
From the cafe again.
Cafe food.
In person this looks just like my dad. Amazing!

Looking up again.
Diana, again!
Doesn't do her justice.

Thanks for looking. xoxo
This paradise was just a short walk from our hotel.
Boats for rent
Where you float your boat!

Breathtaking

Seriously! Someone dressed their little girl like Madeleine. Too much!
Me and my sweet boy watching for his boat. They give you a boat and a pole to push it with.

My brother Tony says that Paris ruins you. The beauty of Paris ruins the rest of Europe for you. So I suppose the suggestion implies to go there last on your schedule or only go to Paris.

You can rent bicycles in Paris! The first half hour is free and they're really cute!

Menus are often on chalkboards
Loved this little poster in the restaurant across the street from our hotel:
