Paris

AHHH Paris…can we just win the lottery already so we buy a flat in Paris and go whenever we would like.

There are so many things to see and do, so here are just a few of our favorites!!

Eiffel Tower…Of course this would be at the top of the list! It is hard to say if it was our absolute favorite thing, but definitely in the top 5!! We highly recommend buying tickets online prior to the trip to go up to the top, it was worth it!! After seeing it at night…I think it might have secured it place in the top 2!!!

Pictures from the 2nd story of the Eiffel Tower. It rained on us for a second, but it was worth it to see the gorgeous rainbow!

Ah…and the most BEAUTIFUL part of the Eiffel Tower is seeing it at night!! Every hour on the hour, for 5 minutes, it twinkles from head to toe. The pictures didn’t come out, which is sad…but it is still quite impressive to see at night!

Next on the top of our favorite list was, The Louvre. It has always been a dream of mine to see the Mona Lisa, so to get to stand in front of it…it was a dream come true. It was fairly larger than I expected. Everyone always says how small she is, but we found her to be larger then expected!

Another really cool thing we saw was Love Lock Bridge. They say that your love and you put a lock on this bridge (if you can find room – the sides of the bridge are filled with thousands of locks!!! NO LIE!!), then your love and you throw the key into the water for good luck.

Of course we throw the keys over!!

 

 

 

They say that they cut the locks off every so often, and you can see why!! SO MANY!!!
