Paris, je t'aime



A very, very small part of the gardens at Versailles. 
Man oh man, has life been crazy busy. July was a crazy busy month with 2 weddings, some camping, starting a new full-time job, and visiting more family... it's life and it's great.


I'll never fully catch up posting pictures of our trip. We literally took HUNDREDS of pictures. These are mostly from Versailles, Notre Dame, and the Opera House. 
We went looking for the Phantom and the Hunchback in the same day.
I'm still reliving it just by looking through these... Paris is for lovers, my friends. 

 




You'll notice we got really good at taking selfies. #selfienation






Climbing to the top of the Notre Dame calls for duck lips and bug-eyes.


Versailles



We never did find Quasimodo. But we climbed to the very top and saw the bells and gargoyles. 


After a few days in Paris, we went up to Normandy. What an incredible place that was.
We stayed in the darling little town of Bayeux and basically had a private tour for part of the day from Utah Beach in the North, down to Omaha Beach and Pont du Hoc and everywhere in between. It's so humbling to think of what happened in these places 70 years and a week to the day we were there. It meant a lot to us to be able to be there. 
German Batteries - the huge guns are still in there...
