Ahh, Paris... What can I say. Ian and I had an amazing 3 days in this beautiful city before heading off to Stockholm. We knew that we would have time to visit one other country besides Sweden but didn't know which to choose. Paris was kind of a left over city (when we were choosing). Ian wanted Spain, but for more than 3 days. And I wanted Italy, for more than 3 days. So naturally, we chose Paris because who knew when we would ever go. Once we got there, we were so glad that we had gone. The people were so nice (despite what we had heard) and between English, Spanish, and Ian's slight knowledge of French, we were able to communicate pretty well.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was all of the amazing food. I was a complete pig the whole time. The breads were amazing. I could have survived completely on bread. That or creme brulee. I won't even start on that one. But seriously, the food was amazing!
The architecture was gorgeous. We seemed to take hundreds of pictures of buildings because they were all so beautiful. It was definitely like stepping back in time. And we just couldn't get enough of it.
(Another pretty scene)
Of course, we saw all of the tourist sites.Notre Dame
Arc de Triomphe
The Louvre
The Louvre definitely put every single museum, that I have ever been to, to shame. It was so amazing. I felt like I could have spent all 3 days in just that one museum.
A picture of me calling the girls.
Thanks to my parents, Ian and I were able to do this 12 day trip without the kiddos.
Paris was beautiful. Everything about it was beautiful. We loved our time there. But I do have to say that my most favorite part of the trip was being with:
It was definitely like a second honeymoon.Thanks hun. It was perfect.

How exciting for you guys! My folks have been a couple of times and they both said some of things you said: it was beautiful and that easily needed a couple of weeks at the Louvre! Hope to see more photos!
I am so happy to see some of your Paris pictures!!! It was wonderful to share the Swedish part of the trip with you both- but I am also so glad you enjoyed Paris! A well deserved trip for you both!
looks all so relaxing...hey i need to talk to you about something. can you email me... blancada@yahoo.com, then we can exchange numbers...ttyl
What a fun trip! How fun that you and Ian could go just the two of you.
I love the picture of you calling the girls and the sweet shot of the Eiffel Tower. And what a sweet thing to say about Ian...you are the best wife! I hope to go back to Paris some day...when I went I was too young to truly appreciate it all...however, I do remember appreciating the crepes on average 3 times a day:)
How fun! I love traveling, it's awesome. And to go to Paris. :) The food looks delish!
Wow, I'm just ozzing with jealousy- oh wait, I guess that's just milk running down my shirt. Looks like you had an amazing trip. You're so lucky to have such great parents to come and watch the girls. How great that you were able to have a second honeymoon. I'm waiting for one of those and it will be great when it comes. Did you really get to take a picutre of the Mona Lisa (sp?) Amazing!! Glad you had so much fun.
