I’m slightly embarrassed to say this, but we spent our first day in Paris in our apartment...until dinner. I think all the walking and on the go is catching up to us, especially…

It was a bittersweet day. We saw some amazing things in London and made some sweet memories, but it’s time to move on. Our train was supposed to leave around 10:30 am but when…
