A little of Belgium....A little of Paris. So Amazing!!!

Russ and I had the amazing opportunity to go to Europe a few weeks ago! This was both of our first times over there. We first went to Belgium for a few days. It was such a cute little place. We stayed in Brussels most of the time. Then we went to Paris for a couple of days. Seriously, it's one of the coolest places I have ever been to. It's so different than anything I have ever seen. I wish we had more time but the time we did have we had a blast! Below are some pictures, I could have posted a million more but it would have taken me forever!





This guy totally asked us to take a picture with him....then he put his hand out and said 2 Euros.....I was like, wait, didn't you ask us to take a picture! I am just stupid and don't notice when people are trying to make money.


The pee pee boy!....aka Mannekin Pis. I thought the statue would be bigger but it was still cool to see.


I was going to buy all of you one of these to bring home. He he!

Of course we had to get a Belgium waffle and chocolate covered strawberries....they had these little stands everywhere! So yummy.


More beautiful buildings.....



Paris!!!


Getting ready to board the train to the most AMAZING city!

Arc de Triomphe!


Eiffel Tower

Michael Jackson rally under the Eiffel Tower. Everyone was going crazy over there over his death. Every store, restaurant, and shop was playing his music. I love Michael Jackson, I am sad he is gone!

On top of the good old double decker tourist bus.

Napolean's Tomb

The Madeleine




The Lourve




Seine River...goes through the whole city. So beautiful!



Sacre Coeur.......the highest point of Paris. It's this old church, it has amazing views of the whole city.



On top of Eiffel Tower. Russ got scared, he doesn't like heights :-)



Enjoying a refreshing popsicle on a warm, sunny, Paris afternoon.


Good ole crepes......they were everywhere. I don't even know how many of these Russ and I ate. They were so good!


Norte Dame


Eiffel Tower at night.....it was so cool when it all lit up and was sparkling. VERY romantic!



I don't even know what this thing is but I had to get a picture.....love the naked bodies. This one is for you Kenzie!

Wow! Great pictures! I am so happy that you and Russ were able to go on that awesome trip! I haven't really had the desire to go to Europe, but after seeing your pictures I think I'm ready to go. You and Russ look so hot in all of your pictures! You definitely need to frame the one of you two at night by the Eiffel Tower. Love you!!
