WOW! I am amazed at how many of these you have completed
talk about super mom *besides of course the obvious* maybe someday I would do this along with my son sounds like fun…
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve been to Paris several times. My ex proposed to me at Notre Dame.
was just wondering how you saw Mona Lisa if you have not visited Paris? I believe she lives in the Louvre. And the David lives in Florence, Italy. Happy to say that I have seen both!
great list!!! happy new year!!
