Paris has always been on the top of my list of places I have to go while we're in Europe. It was truly a dream come true to finally go. We already want to go back. There is so much to see!
Noah was a rockstar and traveled well. He slept on the plan ride there and back and did well in the hotel.
Our first day there we took a cab to the hotel which was only a 20 min walk from the Eiffel Tower and about 5 mins from the Arc Di Triomphe.
We then walked to the Eiffel Tower. We got baguette sandwiches and cappuccinos and enjoyed them under the tower. Then we took a boat ride that began at the tower and went past a lot of the nearby attractions. We got off and explored more on our way back to the hotel.

The next day we grabbed a Starbucks which was pretty exciting. Italy has delicious coffee but no Starbucks so it was a treat. We made our way to the tower and went all the way to the top. I didn't think I'd like going to the top because I hate heights but it was actually really fun!
We decided next trip we take we need a selfie stick. Although they look ridiculous it's nearly impossible to get a pic of the 3 of us.

After the Eiffel tour we began the hop on hop off bus ride. This made traveling thru Paris super easy.
The Louvre museum was huge. I think we walked 10 miles alone in that place! We got lost several times but enjoyed looking at the artwork, sculptures and antiques. Noah enjoyed riding in the ergo and even took a nap on daddy's back.

After the louvre we headed to the Notre Dame cathedral. The line was long to go inside so we took pics of the outside and then we were on a mission to find a lock. I had brought one with us but we left it at the hotel. After we found our lock we headed towards the bridge with all the love locks. It was fun to toss the key in the Siene river!

We hopped back on the bus but only got to the next stop before they stopped driving for the day. So we headed towards the tower. The sun was setting and it was a sight to see. The tower began twinkling and it was so gorgeous. It did this for about two minutes before it stopped and just the lights came on. We loved seeing Paris at night. It's like another city. So beautiful.
As always, it was tough picking only a few of my fav pics from our trip. Hope you enjoyed!
XOXO,
