Jesse and I have wanted to go back to Paris ever since we took a whirlwind trip there back in August. So Jesse decided we should go for Valentine's Day! It was fabulous!!! Not too cold, and not too crowded! We went to Paris Monday morning on the ICE train. For those of you who don't know what that is, that's the really fast train! We got to Paris from Kaiserslautern in only 2 1/2 hours! It was wonderful!!! No sitting in the car for 4 1/2 hours, no going through toll roads. Just get to the train station (which is only 15 minutes from our house), get on your train, and 2 1/2 hours later get off your train in the middle of Paris! We got to Paris at a little before 10 am, and started sight-seeing. We had already done some of the big things last time (i.e. went up the Eiffel Tower), so we just wanted to relax and look around. One of the really cool things we did was going up the Notre Dame tower! That was neat! We went to several different places that day too! And that night, we went to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle! I think it's my favorite thing!
At the train station EARLY in the morning.
Notre Dame
My favorite Gargoyles! View from the top of Notre Dame.
The Eiffel Tower is so pretty at night!
I can't rotate it because it's a video. I just need to learn to stop videoing vertically...
The next day (Tuesday), we went to Place de la Concorde, and walked down the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. It was nice to just walk down the street, go in some stores, and just enjoy the city! And we found the Louis Vuitton headquarters! Yes, we went in the store! No, we did not buy anything :) Before our train home, we went back to the Eiffel Tower (got a million pictures of it), went to the Pantheon, had a crepe, and saw a rainbow!!!

Jesse's grandaddy has some of those pictures. We'll have to get the slides out when you're here in the summer to compare then and now.
I know they didn't have the train back then!
