Eliza goes to Paris!

Last week Eliza was kind enough to bring Colin and I with her to visit her auntie in Paris. My sister has been living in Paris as a live-in nanny for a very adorable French family for the last 6 months. I have always wanted to go to Paris but never had a good enough reason until now. Paris is a BEAUTIFUL city. I love the architecture of all the buildings, everything was green and in bloom, there were so many parks and adorable cafes and bakeries everywhere. We also were lucky enough to have the most perfect the weather the whole week. The only negative thing I can say is I hate that everyone smokes (disgusting) and hated the public transportation. But otherwise I love Paris, especially in the spring. I am not a city girl but if I were to live in a city it would be Paris for sure!

Day 1 - got to Paris and slept the rest of the day

Day 2 - got to our villa in the french countryside of Paris, slept



Day 3 - walked through Paris; Jewish district and other parts, not quite sure what else, Eliza had some amazing gelatto and her 1st carousel ride which she loved and was waving to everyone the whole time, bought lots of food from the bakeries and ate it at the Tuileree





Day 4 - Effiel tower and Sienne riverboat tour








Day 5 - rested at the hotel, swam, played, slept

Day 6 - open air market, Chaps Elysse, Lauderee, Arc de Triumph





Day 7 - open market where we ate the best moraccan food, the Sac de Cur where we met John Kerry of all people, walked the cobblestones streets of Montmarte and got fresh crepes from the street cafe, the Lourve








Day 8 - rested at the hotel, feed the ducks, played in the park and gardens, took a walk in the village





Day 9 - flew ALL day, so happy to be home

We had a FABULOUS time and were so happy for the chance to go. I hope to go back one day but next vacation will be on a beach somewhere were we can actually relax! haha

Paris looks lovely in the spring is right! That so awesome you got to go as a family! I've only been to Paris once and it was way to short. I love Eliza's blue outfit.
