The city of LOVE <3

Well this past weekend Chad and I celebrated our one year anniversary in Paris. It was everything I expected and more. It was the coolest city I have ever been to. We started the day at 2 in morning and we caught our bus. We went thru a tour on base so we traveled w/ about 30 other people. We arrived in Paris around 10 am. The second I saw the Eiffel Tower my heart melted. It is something I have always dreamed of seeing and to actually be there was surreal. We were also there on a "strange" day. We had another girl take a picture of us under the eiffel tower and I said how it would be great on a Christmas card. After I said that a guy told me not so much and to look behind me. So I did and low and behold there was a man that had climbed up the Eiffel Tower and was threatening to jump. So that was very interesting :) We also rode on the underground metro, which was a first for both Chad and I. We also had an amazing dinner and after that we took a boat ride on the Seine River to see the Eiffel tower all lit up. It was an amazing end to an amazing day. Here are some highlights of our trip.
Chad and I on the boat. It looked so awesome all lit up!
In front of the Notre Dame Cathedral


This used to be an old train station but has been converted to a mueseum since the trains are too big now. Thought you would enjoy Aunt Kimmy :)


Waiting to get on the boat..chad was holding the ticket to get on.


At dinner, the champagne was AMAZING

On our first subway ride ever. Chad was having a bit too much fun :)
