The Louvre & Parisian Palaces



One of my favorite places in Paris
was the Louvre.
It is majestic and intriguing.
We did not have enough time this trip to
go in and explore.
When we go back, I want to spend at least
half a day wandering the halls.







The gardens outside of the Louvre are gorgeous!
We sat and enjoyed the sun and beauty around us
before continuing with our Parisian tour.

The Champs Elysees
This reminded me of the Washington Monument.
The Petit Palace
The Grand Palace

The Countdown is On!

Im thinking that nothing is going to live up to Pumpkin spice in the creamer department. The International Delight White Chocolate Mocha is good, but not great. I am however really liking their Skinny Caramel Macchiato. Its fat free, but tasty.

We are moving to Germany in FOUR weeks! Time is flying by. I cant believe it is already May! We have been planning our first trip once we get to Europe...PARIS! Of course. We're hoping to be able to go within the first couple of weeks of our arrival. Paris is only a 2 hour train ride away from our future German hometown! =) The sites that are a must-see for us are: The Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Cathedral of Notre Dame, and The Louvre. Ill have to make a few trips to the Louvre to see all that I want to see, but a brief overview would be nice for this first trip. Has anyone ever been to Paris? Any must-see sites, or restaurants that we should not miss? I actually found a couple of affordable hotels, near all the sites, but we arent going to book until we get over there. If anyone has any advice, let me know! Of course once we actually go, Ill post photos!
