Our Week Abroad

I am definitely late on getting around to this one, almost a year later I decided it was finally time to do something with our pictures from our trip to London & Paris last year. Last May we spent a week abroad visiting the UK and France, it was Mike's first time out of the country. It really was one of the best trips I have ever been on. We had such an amazing time, maybe it was the excitement that Mike proposed to me the night before we left, or it was the general excitement of being in such great cities with so much to see and do.

We spent the first 4 days of our trip in London and then an additional 2 in Paris. On our trip we saw so many wonderful things. Our favorite of the two cities was hands down London, we absolutely loved every minute of our time there. We saw everything from Buckingham Palace, to the London Dungeon, to the famous Tower Bridge and everything in between. We even took a full day tour that took us out to Windsor Castle, Bath & Stonehenge (which I had never seen before). It was so great experiencing the city with Mike, we walked all around, rode around on double decker tour buses, rode the tube, and enjoyed the British cuisine. We had some absolutely delicious fish and chips that's for sure, and my new favorite beverage to go along with it was hard apple cider which we got at some pubs.

After a few days in London we headed over to Paris via the high speed train. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as great as we had previously had in London, and had some minor blips to deal with (such as our down graded 4 star hotel, and of course the language). We did manage to see the quintessential Paris sights such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower (where Mike made me climb the steps!!!). We took a tour bus around the city and covered the rest of the sites like Notre Dame, Scared Heart Church. One of our favorite parts of our time in Paris was def the crepes!!!

We had so much fun on our trip, it was exciting, exhausting, exhilarating and just an overall great time. Of course there was one thing I couldn't wait to get back home for - and that was to tell all of our friends and family about our engagement!
