April in Paris

A belated post from April. It was quite the month with a whirlwind trip to both Paris and Pittsburgh. What do these have in common, you ask? Why, the Boo's of course!

It's the name of the make believe show my BFF Pam101 and I made up that stars yours truly, the most obnoxious and fun-loving couple that ever were allowed to be friends :).

For Pam and I, it was love at first site. We talk everyday despite being thousands of miles away. We joke that we travelled to Paris just to see each other. And it is true! We could have been anywhere, laughing at our inside jokes (they really are funny). But where and when better than April in Paris.

Day 1: Notre Dame and the Louvre; Boo tries to convince me to read 50 Shades of Gray while I'm having a moment in the cathedral.


Day 1: We find refuge from the rain in this wisteria covered gem. Classic moment for the Boo's. We had wine, cheese and lots of laughs.








Day 2: Another rainy day in Paris leads us to Musee D' Orsay, Pam's favorite museum in Paris. Droves of us meandered this awesome train station-converted-museum, which houses the largest impressionist collection in the world.


Day 2: We hopped on a train to Versailles where I pretended to have a picnic with Marie Antoinette. This was my favorite part of Paris.



Day 3: Did I mention it was raining? After hiding under an awning with our coffee and croissants, we walked through the streets of Marais and took a food tour of the Belly of Paris, Les Halles. Check out Pam101's post for a recap.



Day 4: Tired and wet, we finally make it over to the Tour de Eiffel for a magical crepe and even more magical moment when the tower lit up! We had been trying to catch this for days, and it happend as our crepes were falling apart on us. We screamed like giddy school girls.





Day 4: With no time left, we drove by Arc D' Triumph for a glimpse of Napoleon's erection...of a monument.
