photo overload

We had a great time in Paris, and getting there in  Business class made it all the better. Here are some of the photos we took.

All the blossoms were blooming.

The Paris rooftops out of our itty, bitty, Paris flat (it was actually a studio in an attic)

Hotel de Ville

Seine

Outside and inside the Notre Dame

What I like to call the love locks bridge, but it was called the Pont de arts? (Ben is not here to remind me)

I loved the idea of putting a lock on the bridge, I had EVERY intention of getting one engraved before we left but ran out of time, luckily we found one in Paris and put our name on it and threw the keys in the river.....awwww:)

Thousands of locks!

We didn't visit the inside of the Louvre or any other museum while we were there, we would have but they all close on Monday. We didn't plan that very well.

We did however, walk and walk and walk, up the river down the river, through side streets just taking in the energy and amazing history. We stopped every day and got a crepe, mostly a sucre crepe, but one day I did get a nutella and chantilly crepe!!

We walked up and down the Champs Elysees, and window shopped of course went to the Arc de Triumph and just sat and people watched.

The blooms and grounds were amazing!

All of these statues are down from the Louvre, I can't remember what this one was with out clicking on it, but the one below is the Good Samaritan.

I think this one is Alexander the great.

We walked the Champs Elyees' on a Saturday and it was PACKED!! people everywhere.

Awwww, my favorite store that I didn't go in just admired from outside. M.A.C

Eiffel tower shots

It was really nice to just sit on the grounds of the Eiffel tower and relax. We had a great time, didn't feel a whole lot of pressure to pack anything specific in. Just went with the flow.
On our last afternoon, we did take a ride up the Seine on the Batto Bus. It was a neat perspective of the city.
I am so grateful to be able to spend some time with Ben, the kids did good at my mom's house. They went swimming, to a movie, rollerskating and cleaned out the Suburban before we got home:) They had a good time with their cousins.
I am just glad to be home, don't have any more travel plans other than working and I NEED to get some yard work done !!
