Le Honeymoon (day one)



Right after we got engaged Dustin asked me where I would want a honeymoon, if we were lucky enough to get one (because of his school schedule and all). I told him Paris, naturally. Kind of wishful thinking on my part. But he made it happen. And it was beyond anything I could have dreamed of. Paris is the most magical/wonderful/happy place I have ever been in my life. I love it there! There are Parisians picnicking wherever you walk, public gardens on every street, and beautiful buildings honestly everywhere. If you ever get the chance to go, do it.

After a looooong plane ride over to Paris, airport hoppin' till we droppin, we finally got there. We walked to our hotel, which was only 3 minutes away from the train station. The weather was perfect and it was 10 AM. We weren't supposed to check in until 2 PM but when we got to the hotel and the French saw my situation, (I was still sporting the fishtail braid I had on my wedding night) they immediately upgraded us to a suite and let us check in within 10 minutes. So generous!

After cleaning myself up, Dustin and I walked to the Eiffel Tower, we enjoyed a chocolate waffle there and wandered around the area until it was dark and the tower was lit up. We even got to ride to the top of the tower to see the city in all it's nighttime glory. It was absolutely amazing. The perfect way to kick off the first day in Paris.
