Happy Birthday Elizabeth- from the Louve!

I didn't call my sister for her 31st birthday because it was nine hours later in Paris than in Seattle. That's right- I spent her birthday in Paris! In fact, I realized it was her birthday as I was filling out my museum pass to go in to the Louve! So, Happy Birthday Elizabeth! I'm sorry that you could not spend your birthday in the Louve too! You would have loved it!
