THE EIFFEL TOWER

Here's a picture of my family and I at the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. (Left to Right: Paul, Myles, Cory, Ed). For those of you who've been there you may be wondering, "Where are all the hundreds of tourists?" 

Well before we left for Europe, we tried getting tickets online to go to the very top of the Eiffel Tower but unfortunately it was all sold out. The advice given to us was to just go very early and wait in line. So that's what we did! The picture you see here was taken around 7:00 in the morning - that's why there were no crowds.

Getting there early did pay off! Not only were we able to go to the very top of the Eiffel Tower for a beautiful morning view of Paris (we were the third family in line), but we also got a great family picture without all the crowds.
