August: The City of Lights

One weekend, Mike & James ventured into Paris by train for 2 days/1 night.  In those 2 days, they burned through some rubber in their shoes visiting many of the sights in the beautiful City of Lights.  I can't say for sure how many miles they walked, but I think they hit close to 13 miles in one day.  And maybe 9 the next.  James would probably remember.  I took one for the team and stayed home with the boys.
