"Merci Pour Les Mémoires"

Just to make those of you reading a little more jealous, I did spend the weekend in Paris, and yes it was pretty awesome.  The city itself is just so relaxed and everyone is just on there own time enjoying life.  Don't even get me started on the food. Ok, well since you asked, the food is mind-blowing.  Parisians may come across a little arrogantly but if you could make food like those people you could be too.  To put it into perspective for all of you, I hated tomatoes until this trip.  Now, I eat them like apples.  But the city of lights has so much more to offer, after all, it is the city of lights.  We got to travel to Versailles and see the wealth and beauty that was the royal family, and the immaculate gardens which seem to go on and on forever.  We  also visited the Louvre which was amazing and extremely crowded.  Side note, the Mona Lisa is actually really small - who would have thought it.  Then we took a ride on a river boat down the Seine and night which gives you a completely new perspective of the city.  And of course, we got to see the Eiffel Tower, which to was smaller than I actually thought it was going to be but still very, very cool to see.  So here is a sampling of pictures that I have accumulated and at the end is a short video of the Eiffel Tower as it is lighting up at midnight... hope you enjoy!

(until we meet again city of light)

And here is that video I promised....
