Ok so I am a total slacker. We have been home for like 2 months but I am just putting up these pictures. Tuesday in Paris was our anniversary. We were celebrating 2 years of marriage and lets be honest is there any better way to do that than to be in Paris? Not for me. We decided to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower for our anniversary. We got up early because we wanted to be at the beginning of the line. We actually decided to walk there because it was only like a little over a mile and we wanted to take in as much of Paris as we could. We got there and got in line and only waited for like half an hour once they opened. It was so awesome. First you go to like the middle deck where there is a gift shop and stuff. It was nice because you are still pretty high up but you don't have the cage around you like they do on the very top but you still have a really good view. So we took a few pictures and looked around and then headed to the elevator to go to the top. It was pretty scary because when your walking around town the Eiffel Tower doesn't look as tall as it is but when you're in the elevator going to the top you just keep going up and up and you feel like you should have been to the top of it already. So once we got to the top the view was SO beautiful. They had an indoor observation deck where we could see everything and they had a little diagram showing where everything was as you were looking out. Then you could go outside to the deck, it was SO high up it was so cool. There is of course caging so that people don't jump off and on one side of it the wind was CRAZY so we mostly stayed on the non windy side. It was so awesome. After we were done at the tower we had lunch which was ham and cheese baguettes. I am seriously obsessed with ham and cheese baguettes. All it is is Swiss cheese, ham and mayo on a baguette usually served with chips or fries. You can get this meal pretty much anywhere in Paris during the day. It is so good one of the first things we did when we got home was go to Costco and buy baguettes for sandwiches. Anyways we had lunch under the Eiffel Tower. We were trying to decided what to do after that and of course I needed some shoes so we spent the entire afternoon walking around Paris looking for shoes, it was pretty much the best day of my life. We went to the nicest mall I have ever seen in my life, it was SO beautiful. It is called the Galeries Lafayette. There was like every major fashion house you could think of and they each had their own little section in each department. It was incredible, I cannot wait to actually buy stuff from them one day! After we were done shopping we went home to a gourmet meal that Kelly prepared for us and she got us this amazing dessert from a little bakery by her apartment. It was the best anniversary I could ever imagine. I have such a wonderful husband who is the best husband in the world for me. I cannot wait for many many more anniversaries together, hopefully we will get to spend more of them in Paris :)
