Last weekend, in France they celebrated European Heritage Days, or Journées Européennes du Patrimoine. On these days, sites all over France open up to the public for behind-the-scenes tours. If you're lucky enough to be in Paris at this time, you can tour the Senate building, or go backstage at the Moulin Rouge. Or, if you are like us, you can go to where they repair the RER trains and actually drive one, like Christopher did!

| a dream come true |
Christopher has ALWAYS told me that one of his dreams is to drive a train. Et, voilà! CLICK HERE for video of the great event!
In addition to Christopher driving the train, we also got to tour the RER facilities for over three hours. This is how dirty your kid can get at a train station in three hours:
 |
| it was much worse than it looks (that's grease) |
 |
| Why oh why did I leave two spare pairs of these jeans back in Williamsburg? |
 |
| this is AFTER wiping down his hands TWICE |
 |
| Anyway, how can you stay mad at a cute face like this? |

This is a great entry, Heather, and not just because I have a prominent rôle! I love the pics.
Christopher is driving... Everybody save yourselves. Awesome.
How cool is that - barely in France a month and you're already driving the RER! Love it!
Love you guys! GAB
