A Stroll in Paris

So, in January I found some tickets to Paris for $400 round trip!!!  And it was RIGHT during the time of the Paris Temple Open House!
So what did I do?  I bought the tickets!  And convinced 10 of my coworkers to join me!  I also brought my cousin along and some others brought some family as well.

And we're off!  The first part of our group - we didn't all get the same flights so we're meeting up in Paris

Layover in Denver

So here we are, 5 months later, our first day in Paris ♥

After all our traveling, we stopped first at our Air BnB to put our stuff there and then go out and explore the city.
Well, our host was late in getting there so we just chilled in the entry way until he came and gave us the key to our apartment for the week!

We dropped off our stuff and the fun began!

We are killing the tourist look...oh well. :)

First stop was Notre-Dame de Paris!  Inside was gorgeous!  So tall, the stained glass was magnificent!  And then we got to climb up the stairs all the way to the bell towers.  OH MY GOODNESS.  Totally felt like the Hunchback of Notre Dame!  The sight was incredible!  And as we were walking up the stairs and got to the top, the bell tower was going off!  That was super neat!

These gargoyles were so fun!  Definitely felt like I was in The Hunchback of Notre Dame!

After we hiked up and then back down, we all were starving.  So we walked the streets of Paris and found this quaint little crepe shop.  It was delicious!  I love crepes!

After we found this crepe shop-we only went to this crepe shop!

After that, we walked the streets back to our apartment.  Stopped in shops, looked at cool buildings, and just had a fun time strolling in Paris :) 

Cool church that we found on our walk

The architecture here is unbelievable.  The stained glass is beautiful!  I fell in love with France as soon as we got here!
