We started it off by going to the Paris Temple Open House in Versailles! The temple is stunning. We met up with our entire group here at the open house!
Then we got some lunch from a cute little shop
And then went to the Palace of Versailles! Explored inside the palace and then went out into the gardens.
We stopped and got some hot chocolate before going to the gardens - as you can see - we were super tired! Jess & Ellis fell asleep on the table...
WOAH. Those gardens are phenomenal. The sun came out while we were there and it made it a very enjoyable walk in the gardens! We even got to ride the boats on the canal!
The umbrella was really being used to keep from getting splashed as Nick rowed...but it worked for a cute pose as well :)
After the palace and gardens, my cousin and I split off from the group...BECAUSE...my parents were in the area!! So we met up with them for dinner! Haha I hadn't seen my parents since February...and we were meeting up with them in France. CRAZY! It was so fun to see them. My dad served his mission in Toulouse, and so they were in Paris just for a couple days then going south to visit his mission. It was fun hearing him speak French! :)
After dinner, Jessica and I went back to Paris and met up with the group in front of the Eiffel Tower for a River Boat Cruise. Right as the sun was setting. It made for a gorgeous ride! It set the mood just right for Paris!
And the cruise ended right at 10, when they do a light show on the Eiffel Tower!
After our cruise, my friend Doro, from Germany, joined us as we made our way home. She is with us for the weekend. :)
