Oh, not only am I afraid of heights, I'm also petrified of roller coasters and water rides.
So, after the ferris wheel, what did we do next? The log ride.
Can you see my expression in the photo? Yes, we bought the souvenir photo since it is unlikely you will ever find me on one of these things again.
Isabella was very proud of herself for going on since she was afraid. And, so was I. She delighted in telling my dad that not only did I scream, but that I also used some choice curse words.
But, I'm good on dry land for the forseeable future.

Tuilleries Tramp


Again, brains out of the gutter, please.
As it turns out, at the end of our exhausting Louvre visit, we discovered a midway set up along the Rue de Rivoli, complete with rides, carnival games and, you guessed it, trampolines.
Isabella first went on the same style of trampoline she hit up in Montmartre. She tried a few times to do a flip, but never quite got all the way around. She did, however catch some good air and got a nice view of the gardens.
After this, she spotted a whole bunch of tramps set up next to one another. For 3 euros, she was granted 5 minutes of jumping. 20 minutes later, the guy came to tell her it was time to get off. Red-faced and exhausted, she thoroughly enjoyed herself and we headed back home.
