I can’t really say enough about my 3 days in Paris. It was so incredibly special. It is really a magical place. Spencer and I had so much fun celebrating our engagement, wandering around the city, getting lost on the most beautiful little streets, eating way too many croissants and drinking a little (ok a lot) too much champagne! It was perfect. All of it. I will be forever grateful to my grandparents for such a special gift.

| The beautiful lobby at our hotel, Esprit St Germain. How perfect is all that grey and leopard? |
 |
| The Louvre, the trees were just turning colors, so perfect! |
 |
| So very Parisian. |
 |
| Versailles. |
 |
| And more. I’m so awkward. I clutch my hands in fists. |
 |
| The amazing colors on the Seine. |
 |
| Notre Dame. We literally stumbled on it. |
 |
| I am completely infatuated with French architecture. |
 |
| The color. The detail. The brass. |
 |
| A vertical garden. Love. |
 |
| Standard Eiffel Tower picture |
 |
| The architecture. Have you ever seen anything so perfect?? |
 |
| This is pretty much the story of my life. Budweiser and champagne. PS love that the label says Bud! |
