I spent the weekend in Paris. I felt as though walking through Paris was like being on a first date. There was cute laughs, emotional moments and quiet admiration. Moments which I will treasure forever. I want to share just a little of my love affair with this city. I saw the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Arc De Triomphe and was emotional at each of these incredible symbolic landmarks.
We were blessed enough to get lots of sun and I could not have been happier with the girls I went with.
The Mona Lisa was a metre away from me in the Louvre. I had croissants at cafe where you could see that Eiffel Tower poking out above the building in front of us. I had macaroons at the Laduree; famous for being the luxury bakery that invented the doubled decker macaroon.
Arc De Triomphe
The flavors of Macaroons that I had were: Salted Caramel, Raspberry, Rose Petal and Vanilla.
Below was the entrance to the Louvre.
And there she was.. The most infamous painting in the entire world. The Mona Lisa.
I will treasure these girls forever for being my partners in crime in Paris. Je 'taime Mikayla, Judith, Christine and Rachael.
There were bakeries everywhere that were just to die for.
Love Locks
On the gorgeous 27th of July 2013 on a gorgeous Parisien Summer's day, we made our way to Notre Dame and participated in the gorgeous tradition of locking a "love" padlock onto a chain link bridge.
Below is the lock I used for my family.
Below are some examples of what were some of the cuter ones.
The keys normally get thrown into the Seine River, to represent that the love is unbreakable. I kept the keys to my lock so that I can give one to my family and one to my boyfriend.
Bonne Nuit dear dreamers, may you all have incredible adventures..
