PARIS

This vacation was truly amazing!!! We had such a good time and Paris was unbelievable. Kaia did really well although she slept through the Mona Lisa. We walked through the city visiting the normal tourist sites such as the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, and shopped along the Champs Elysees (okay, mostly window shopped). We ate at little cafes along the street and enjoyed the food. The weather was perfect and the people were very nice. We ate nutella crepes along the sidewalk and sat in the park. I was very sad to leave.
On our drive home, we stopped in the Champagne region of France where all the worlds champagne is made (if it isn't made there, it is referred to as sparkling wine, NOT champagne...learn something new everyday). We visited the Moet and Chandon Mansion (that is the champagne K and I had the night we got engaged so it has special meaning to us:)). We took an hour tour in which we learned how champagne is made and got to tour the mansion. We also got to go into the underground cellars where all the champagne is stored. It was so neat to see how the process works and of course we didn't leave without buying A LOT of champagne.
The weekend was so great and it was nice to spend time together before the craziness of this year begins.
