Paris- July 2016

I love everything about this city! We had such an amazing time! Although by the end of the week we were exhausted from running from place to place, it was one of our favorites thus far. We were able to figure out the metro fairly easily and and took it all over the city! So much fun! We ate the most amazing food. We always stay away from the over crowed, tourist packed restaurants and find the best hole in the wall diners. For the most part, in every restaurant we ate at we were the ONLY Americans and pretty much the only ones speaking English....except for the couple we made friends with and ended up eating with them, they were from London. We had several celebs staying at our hotel which was kinda cool, and while Lance ran out to return something and I stayed in the room to get ready for dinner, he ran into Adriana Lima (the Victoria Secret model!) out modeling in the middle of the street!.....only in Paris! :o

At night, for the first 5 minutes of every hour, the Eiffel Tower lights up with thousands of twinkling lights! So it looks like it's glittering! We had just finished dinner and the lights had just ended when I took this shot!

So I know it's Italian, but we had heard rave reviews of this pizza place! Oh boy, was it incredible! They slide it right out onto your table (it takes up the whole table!)

 Oh and by the way.....I ate 3/4 of this pizza! 

Cheers! Incredible doesn't even begin to describe this trip!

Desserts from our farewell EJ dinner!

On our last night in Paris, Lance surprised me with this beautiful gift! The Eiffel Tower carved into crystal. I saw it in a shop earlier in the week and commented on how beautiful it was. Somehow, without me knowing, he went back and got it for me! 

He's really upping his selfie game! ;) 

Notre Dame bell towers!!!
