Versailles and the new Paris temple

We started off our day with crepes for breakfast at a crepery close to our house. They were so yummy! After breakfast we headed to the train station, we were off to Versailles.
It was so hot, the hottest day of our entire trip and we choose to spend it out in Versailles. We walked from the train station to the palace and already everyone was sweaty and tired and stabbing in the extent long line to get in did not appeal to most of us. David did some recon and found that we could walk through the gardens without waiting in the line so we did just that. But remember it was hot and people were grumpy about being in the heat so we didn't see much or stay too long. Instead, we called an Uber to pick us up and take us to the Paris temple. There weren't any vans, so the driver made two trips shuttling us all there.
The temple was beautiful! Because of bottling height restrictions, they were unable to put an angel Moroni on the top so instead, they had a big Christus in the gardens.
Even though the Palace was a bust and we need a do over, going to the temple was a great way to spend the day.
