Paris

I have to admit, on my way to Paris I started to get an anxiety attack. Thoughts were flooding through my mind such as: we shouldn't leave our kids and be so far away from them. How will we communicate with anyone if we don’t understand the language? What if the French are rude? Why are we doing this?

But Paris turned out to be magical! The Parisians were friendly and very hospitable. I love Paris and 10 months later I can’t get Paris out of my system. I want to go back! Seth loved Paris, too. We had a great time together and it was a fun adventure. Happy 5 year anniversary to us! We took over 600 pictures in 3 days, and here are a few highlights.
