Today Colorado celebrates its 149th birthday, I love this state! 

 

Had a great time at band photo makeup day! Shout out to the band support crew and my amazing daughter for making this easy as it can be!

I have spent years hunting down thistle and it never quite seems eradicated.

I was at the Colorado Renaissance festival when I spotted this global celebrity on holiday. He swore me to secrecy not to tell anyone where he was. 

Alright that's enough of our trip to Paris, on to more summer fun. Here's some fun flower photos from the mountains of Colorado  

One of my favorite spots, even despite the very claustrophobic climb to the top of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre.

The Palace of Versailles was just packed, every room full of people roaming or on tours, navigating the halls was slow and impossible at times. The gardens however were the highlight of the visit, the gorgeous maze like spaces with tunnels of green were astounding and worth the long walk around the grounds. It's hard to say skip on Versailles it was fun to visit but definitely go in knowing it may be a crowed mess at times.   

Former treasure trove of Paris royalty and now a church, Sainte-Chapelle had some impressive sainted glass even compared to Notre Dame. This was a neat visit but the long wait even with reservations was almost not worth the visit.  

One of my favorite moments was walking into Notre Dame, while crowded it was nearly silent. Being in this most iconic church was such a stunning contrast from the ornate outside to the simple design inside. Recently cleaned from the fire of 2019 the interior was breathtaking.
