Paris

Dates and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary in Paris this past weekend. It was such an amazing trip! We took the Eurostar train from London straight to Paris on Friday morning, and saw as much as we could in two days. We loved Paris so much and consider ourselves very lucky to have had the opportunity to spend our anniversary in such a great city. Here are a few of the highlights...

Hotel room window/balcony.

A few blocks from our hotel. We opted for climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator to the top-it was a hike!

View from the first level of the Eiffel Tour.

After our long stair climb!

The weather was really cold the whole weekend (low was around 18 degrees!), but absolutely gorgeous. 

We ate lunch and had some drinks outside of this cafe. Great people watching! 

Pretty day.

While walking down Champs Elysees, I noticed a familiar smell-kind of smelled like walking through the mall. Then I saw this...It is Abercrombie and Fitch (sign on the right side of the gate). Somehow they managed to surround the street with the overwhelming smell of their cologne like they do at the malls in the U.S. How fancy is this Abercrombie?

Arc de Triomphe

Dates and his map. He spent a lot of the trip like this.

Lobby of our little hotel.

Day 2-need a new map! 

Took this one for my mom and my aunts. They love Palais Royal.

Such a pretty day.

I loved all of the architecture. The buildings were so pretty.

Moulin Rouge! We went to Moulin Rouge for our anniversary 'dinner'. It was awesome!

Crowd waiting to get in the show.

Entrance to the show-right before they took my camera away :( 

Waiting for a taxi outside the hotel. Au Revoir Paris!

We had such a fun weekend! 

I am flying home tomorrow to celebrate Mardi Gras Galveston! Can't wait! 

Happy Valentine's Day!
