I knew it...

...I knew I would get overwhelmed with Paris pics... and it happened. Seriously, Paris is my favorite place I have ever been. It is amazing. And I took WAY too many pictures (as I predicted). So much for updating a little at a time. Now I am over a month behind. But I don't want to give up because I want to share everything we did! So even though we have been gone for a few weeks, and Justus turned 3 today (Happy Birthday, buddy! I should be blogging about that!), I am going to pick up where I left off with our month in Paris. And just keep posting until I'm done!! So without further adieu, I present to you the Eiffel Tower...

It's not as big as you imagine it should be, but it was the tallest tower in the world when it was built. But the real question is, why is Piper so cute??!

Justus wins for best pose ever in front of the Eiffel.

Every night for a few minutes the tower lights up with over 20,000 sparkling bulbs and it is surprising (at least the first time you see it) and really pretty.

This is the Basilique du Sacre-Coeur (the Church of the Sacred Heart) at the top of Montmartre, the highest point in the city.

You have to climb quite a bit of stairs, but you do get great views of the city. Unfortunately, we brought Piper in our stroller (ha ha!) so I carried her and Trav carried the stroller. I would do it differently next time :)

Justus is showing me his commemorative coin that he got inside the church (I know, classy). This just shows my amazing photography skills...but he still looks so cute!

Eating a nutella crepe in Montmartre. YUM.

More to come...
