Paris. Ah. Paris. No where else like you. A lifelong love affair has bloomed :)
Shutterfly: K&E Paris 2011
Every street corner was filled with little markets filled with incredibly fresh fruits and veggies, with a flower shop next door, next to a bakery next to a bistro, next to a cafe! Oh, heaven... I love thee!
As if all of that wasn't reason enough to visit and love Paris, we of course hit all the major attractions... Eiffel Tower, Napoleons Tomb, Army Museum, Notre Dame, the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, Arc, Les Catacombs, and on and on...

And even took 3 day trips, Versailles, Normandy and London... all with more amazing sights and experiences.

Everything was more beautiful than I imagined, far less people spoke English than I imagined, and everything more expensive than I imagined. And even though I really could picture a long and happy life in Paris, nothing was sweeter than coming home to Josie, running and yelling "MOM!!!" It was a tearful moment and I'm so lucky to have had such an amazing week and an amazing homecoming!
