Paris, France
December 2014

The best word I can think of to describe Paris is lovely. It is a lovely city, with amazing bakeries, incredible architecture, fascinating history, and a smell that's enchanting. We booked out flights at ten at night and we left for the airport at four in the morning the following day. It was an amazing adventure and a great way to celebrate six months of marriage. We stayed at the most lovely airbnb that we booked at the airport, praying we would have a place to stay when we arrived haha. It worked out and did not disappoint it was a three minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. The ceiling was glass, like a huge window, and at night we laid in bed in the loft and fell asleep to the circling spotlight of the Eiffel Tower, idyllic really. Right place, right time.

 the opera house

 Buildings along the Seine

 Notre Dame.. absolutely mind blowing
Locking our love


Arc de triomphe

salted caramel was my favorite
 for some reason the french go to bed extremely late and they start their days rather late.. our second day in Paris and first morning there we woke up early because the jet lag. We stopped at a lovely bakery and munched on our baguettes and chocolate croissants on our walk to the Eiffel Tower. There was not a soul. We were the only ones we could see from the Eiffel Tower and it was so surreal.

 This isn't at 4:30 in the morning either.. this is at 7:45.. only people for as far as we could see. Sunrise at the Eiffel Tower.
Baguette Duo Time.

 The Louvre blew my mind.

 There she is ladies and gents.


 Works of Michelangelo 


 Sainte - Chapelle.. I have wanted to go here for years and I finally made it. Amazing history, meaning, and the most beautiful windows you will ever see.

 Montemarte .. where you at Picasso?!
The steps Al and Mel ran up with their boyzz when they lost track of time
"Now this is real french food" "Do ze food you at ze embassy?"

Luxembourg Gardens
My favorite street in all of paris

 So incredibly beautiful .. and freezing
Until next time Paris.
