Before heading to Paris, we decided that if we were going to visit the Eiffel Tower we needed to go allllll the way to the top. So we bought 3 Eiffel Tower Summit tickets. Vince and Vinnie were very excited about this. I was excited about the idea of it. But I was not excited about the actual doing of it – the endless ride in a glass elevator to a tiny landing way high up in the sky on a structure that most certainly could topple over at any given moment. Not. My. Thing.
