For the past 9 weeks Matt and I have been dreaming about visiting the Eiffel Tower, going to a concert at Notre Dame, shopping at the markets (more of my dream), and enjoying the city of love. We've done a few things to help prepare ourselves for this little adventure. For example, I've been brushing up on my French and have a few important phrases down like, "Where is the restroom", "Do you have that in my size?", and "Does that come in chocolate?" We've also been watching things on how not to visit the sites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kq6w-McPHk (Sorry, for some reason it won't let me use the link tool or add pictures. Is this happening to anyone else??!!)
We leave on Sunday and I’m finishing up a few last minute itinerary items. So if you have any suggestions on things to see or not to see let us know! Can’t wait to hear and try out your suggestions!

Don't let anyone paint your picture for free...it's not free. Also, the same rule applies to free roses...their not. Prepare to get whistled at. I did and I was with my dad...they have no shame. You will love it!!
I WISH I could give you some great places to visit, but that would require me actually having been to Paris. I hope you guys have a great trip!
"Would you bring me back one of those Eiffel Tower paper weights?"
This is Natalie Michelle's friend (is it lame that I stalk blogs where I have to remind the owner of who I am?...Probably)
The Eiffel Tower was my favorite part of Paris. Try to plan it so that you can be up there for the sunset...it is magnificent.
You must take a day trip out to Versailles. The Palace is beautiful and the vast gardens there (when everything is in bloom) is exquisite.
I would look up ratings and prices for restaurants before you go there because I wanted to eat at a real great Parisian Restaurant but everything on Champ Elyse was SO expensive.
I hope you have so much fun!
Go to the D'Orsee (I don't know how to spell in French). It's by far the coolest museum in Paris. And be sure to eat an entire baguette every day.
I have one major suggestion....bring me with you! Thanks! Or at least take lots of pictures and photoshop me in them :)
I don't care what you're doing there just come home and play with us.
oh my gosh, have an incredible time! Can't wait to see pictures!
