THIRTEEN: VERSAILLES

August 3, 2017

We had the most incredible time at Versailles. Every little girl ( and even Mama) wants to imagine what it would be like to be a Princess. As we walked through the Royal Apartments I chatted with Lyla about the things I knew about life at the Palace. She was really interested in everything and got plenty of inspiration on how she wanted to decorate her bedroom. Insert eye roll here.2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-56.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-60.jpg

The girls danced together in almost every room possible. It was so great to see them interacting this way. They were pretending that they were at a ball:)2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-53.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-54.jpg

After the spending some time in the hall of mirrors we headed outside to my absolute favorite part of the day….. The gardens.2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-46.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-47.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-48.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-49.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-50.jpg

We spent a bit of time in the formal gardens near the Palace before we boarded the “little train” to see Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet. As we rode the train Lyla couldn’t believe that everything was part of the King and Queens “backyard”2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-59.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-58.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-61.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-76.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-81.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-62.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-63.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-64.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-65.jpg

We had the most wonderful day at Versailles. While traveling with a 2 year old and a 6 year old you are forced to take things slow and to not over plan too many activities in a day. Watching them play chase together warmed my heart in ways I can’t even describe.2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-73.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-70.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-75.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-77.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-67.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-66.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-80.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-79.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-78.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-55.jpg2017_JANKOWSKI_CEREMONY-45.jpg
