Europe Trip - Day 1

Plane ride and Paris, France

This is where it all starts! :) Me and my mom just waiting for the plane to take off.

I love watching the clouds from outside the plane window... they're so cool!

Finally made it to France. Walking around Paris trying to find our hotel :) ha

Oh look... we found it.


It's a little snug, but it's all part of the fun, right??


Our transportation in Paris. Gotta love the subway


Welcome to the Lourve!

Ah.... Mona Lisa's smile.



16th Century porn! HAHAHA j/k


The Venice de Milo is breathtaking!

Taking a walk down the river Seine... I love the bridges


Some people just can't keep their hands off each other in a public park. GEEZ!! :)


SOOO.... today is the first day of my trip. This morning was just fine getting to the airport thanks to my brother Jamey (YOU ROCK!!). The first part of the flight from SLC to Atlanta wasn't bad at all... the in flight movie was "Made in Manhattan". It wasn't that great of a movie, but parts of it took place in Scotland so I got to see a glimps of what I'm in for towards the end of my trip. WOOHOO!! Then the flight from Atlanta to France... ouch. Talk about long. I didn't want to sleep till after they served us dinner, so I started watching the movie which was that second Narnia movie... Prince Caspian... or whatever. I ate and finished watching the movie and realized I only had like 4 hours to try and sleep, but i wasn't tired anymore. Thank goodness for Advil PM. Helped me fall asleep... too bad planes aren't comfortable to sleep on. It hurt after a while. We finally land... I'm half awake... and we wait for my dad to catch up with us (he flew United and we flew Delta). We grabbed a bus to Paris... wandered around trying to find our hotel and finally found it, but the room wasn't ready. So we found a place to eat like 5 doors down, but it was all in French and the lady tried to help us, but everything was like liver or beef steak. so we just went for a salad, which wasn't bad. :) After we got things settled in the room we headed off for the Louvre via subway. Lots of walking today... and we were already exhausted... so the Lourve was all we really did today. I loved it though! Now we're back in our room trying to wait to go to sleep. It was a great first day and I hope you all enjoy the pictures!! By the by... I apologize for the ones that are sideways... I'm still trying to figure out this blogging thing. Hopefully I'll be able to fix them soon. :) LATERS!!!

How freaking awesome. Apparently it has been too long since I have kept up tabs. I loved seeing pictures of you....dang...you are hot stuff with your gorgeous long hair. You look so amazing. I can't believe that was your graduation present. I got an air conditioner! Which I was actually really excited for. Love you lots and am so happy to see you doing so wonderfully!
