#TBT - Spring Break in Paris #jesuischarlie

In the wake of the horrific events in Paris yesterday, it made me reminisce about the many wonderful times I've spent in that beautiful city, too many to count. When my boyfriend was living there and my day job sent me on business trips I took full advantage to live a French life to the best of my ability. 

My boys are very familiar with my love and passion for France, its people, culture, art, food, wine and history. Hence, they requested a trip to Paris for Spring Break in 2012 and they remember it vividly to this day. We took in the sights and sounds of the city and even ventured out to EuroDisney for a day trip (although Paris' own Jardin d'Acclimation in the Bois de Bologne (Paris' answer to Vancouver's Stanley Park) kicked ass over EuroDisney by a mile!)

I'm posting some pics of this unforgettable trip and they can't wait to return. They're already asking...!

 

On the Eiffel Tower...a windy day!
