Paris, le voyage d'une vie

In May Mike and I took the trip of a lifetime! I've always dreamed about going to Paris, he made it happen just for me! We found a good deal on tickets and on a whim we booked it! First stop Versailles!
Right off the train

First of many baguettes mmm 

Palace
Marie Antoinette's Estate

 
 We spent two days in Versaille, next we were off to Belgium. Our train left at 1:30 so we got our things together and went to the train station. When we got there we couldn't find our train anywhere, it didn't show up on the departures board. We were getting a little nervous so we went to the ticket counter. Well she tells us our train left at 11:30. Ahhh we were going to have to pay 200 dollars for new train tickets. Lukily Fatima (ticket counter lady) felt bad for us and didn't make us pay the hefty bill! So we were on our way at last to Antwerp Belgium!

Some crazy photo bombed us.(Antwerp train station)

Okay so Belgium has THE best waffles. I crave them everyday 

Our hotel rooftop
Belgium was so amazing. The people were nice the waffles were one of the best things i've ever eaten in my life. While we were here we just kind of explored the city. We didn't have much time here, so someday I would definitely go back to spend more time. Now to Amsterdam!

Just a brochure to select the right weed for you. hehe

The clog making factory. Yes we saw how clogs are made  and yes I got me a pair!

Windmills in Zaanse Schans

We went and toured the Anne Frank house. Most amazing thing ever. 

We loved Amsterdam we had so much fun here. We stayed at the brand new double tree hotel which was awesome! City views for miles! We walked up and down the canals. We Went to Zaanse Shans where all the windmills are, and the clog factory! Believe it or not people still wear clogs. We walked through the red light district a few times which is something everyone needs to see! It was crazy. Amsterdam is the only place where you'll find Coffee shops that are actually Weed shops and men window shop for women on the street! haha what a city right! 


Mike's got good jumps

From the top of the Eiffel Tower 


Moulin Rouge 

Paris was our last stop. By far my FAVORITE ever! I need to go back i'm missing it so much! We got right to business when we arrived. We were on our way to Champs Elysees but I caught a glimps of  the Eiffel Tower so nothing else mattered and we made our way over to see it! Ah it was so amazing to see it up close and personal when i've been dreaming of seeing it my whole life. We had a great time. We ate Crepes pastries of every kind too much bread. wait you can never have too much bread! One of our favorite things to do was to buy some baguettes some ham and cheese and snarf it down! We spent one night out on the town. We had dinner on the Seine River, went to the Eiffel Tower and got to go to the top, then to the Moulin Rouge! Best vacation ever can't wait to go back!
