    What a fun meme! I think the Louvre sets you up to be underwhelmed by the Mona Lisa by putting it all by itself in that enormous room…

    You've really never been stung by a bee?

    Hey! I can handle a lazy meme. This looks fun. And I, too, was underwhelmed by the Mona Lisa.

    Well, that was until last night……. And I got stung by one at the park. I was totally sitting still and didn't even know it was there. They sure do sting.

    So did I catch it right – it's your birthday? If it is, happy birthday 🙂

    I remembered beind underwhelmed by Mt. Rushmore – if you've seen pictures – you've pretty well seen all there is to see.

    Too bad about the bee sting 🙁

    Happy birthday! It's great that you've seen so many great places. I agree with you on Mona Lisa.

    Happy birthday! I think it might be worse to have been to Hawaii and not know it than to be stung by a bee. Fun list!

    Happy Birthday! I love these things! And by the way, you CAN take a picture of the Sistine Chapel (it helps if you have a screaming 9 month old, and are clearly trying to get the baby out of there. They'll let you do anything if you will just get OUT please!).
