The Palace of Versailles

So heres the plan. I can't get lots of pictures online all at once, so spring break will be described to you over the next few days, a little at a time.

The first place we stopped was the Palace of Versailles. This building served as the house of the Royal Family and the site of the French government from 1682 until 1789. More importantly, it was where the peace talks were held and the treaties signed that ended WWI. It is still used for special state functions today. Anyways, if you want to know more history, Wikipedia exsts for a reason. I'll tell you more when we get to the Normandy and WWII stuff. For now, I'll just share pretty pictures with you.

Oh, and the pics didnt come out good, but I brought snow with me to Versailles, not that you can tell looking at these pics. It was snowing pretty good for about 10 min while I was inside, meaning I have had snow in ever country I've been to so far.
