On Thursday we drove back towards Paris to visit the Palace of Versailles.  Over 4 million people visit the Palace every year, so it was pretty crowded.  The tour system is a little bit disorganized and we couldn't ride in our backpacks (the best way to tour a palace), but the Moms got it figured out and we had a great day exploring the gardens, Marie Antoinette's estate, and the main Palace.  We couldn't take pictures in all of the rooms and I was touring at my own pace, but Mom still was able to get some good shots.

ready for our first tour of the Princess rooms-to bad Mom didn't get to hear any of the information on the audio guide.

I hope Mom paid attention in history class because she is not going to get to use the audio guide.
