We had an early flight to catch, so we had to crawl out of bed at around 4:30am to get our bags packed and rush to get a few snaps with the Eiffle Tower in the background before we left at 6:30am. It was hotter than hell the day before, and after walking all over Paris I was not having family pics with us in sweat soaked clothes. We were exhausted and grouchy that morning, but seeing the sunrise over the tower was so worth the loss of sleep. I don't think there's anything more beautiful than a sunrise in Paris.
While strolling through Montmartre, we made a little detour to the Le Mur des Je t'aime (the wall of love) where you will see "I Love You" written out in every language.
Just a little "Come With Me" shot through the Arc de Triomphe.
Hey sister, soul sister. Better get that dough sister with a little detour to Moulin Rouge. Since Paris wasn't initially on our European travel itinerary, we didn't fit in a show. However, I wasn't leaving without stopping by the iconic building for a quick snap.
I took about a billion photos of the Eiffel Tower, but I won't bore you with them all. Just a few of my favorites :)
From my family to yours, wishing you all the love and happiness this Valentine's Day ♥
Happy Valentines, dahlink!
ReplyDeleteLove how you made the girls wear dresses in Paris :) You all looked lovely indeed.
Oooh, there's Serbian VOLIM TE on that wall too!
Such lovely photos.
PS whom did you ask to take the last photo? :)
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Dahlink! The dresses was a demand before we left. I made them show me they had their dresses packed. It was the only thing I insisted upon that they put in the suitcases.
DeleteYes, the wall has every language of I Love You written on it. I'll share the full pic next week. It's quite a big wall!
We had a tripod that we took with us and set the timer on the camera. There were no French people out and about that early except for the city workers cleaning the streets from the night of celebrations from the World Cup. Even after all that partying, I don't think the French get up that early anyway lol
Hope a happy hallmark day is had at your pad. Sure some great shots indeed. But hmm, how did you do the wardrobe change so fast? Different dress at the end for you but same for the girls. You changing in phone booths? lol
ReplyDeleteThe blue dress was worn on the full day we were there. I put the white one on at the hotel the next morning before we caught our flight to Ireland. It was a mad rush, but we made it happen :)
DeleteI love Paris. I finally got there with the family, and we had so much fun. I couldn't believe how gorgeous the city is.
ReplyDeleteThe whole city is truly a work of art in itself!
DeleteI can see why you heart it. I love that back view of Allison. The lighting is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat was one of my favorites too! I love all of the sunrise colors in it ♥
