A little video from a trip a few weeks ago. We took the EuroStar Train from London to Paris for a long weekend away. There was lots of eating and champagne popping, with some sightseeing in between!
If you’re interested in some of the things we did over the weekend, check out my recent post on my favorite things to do in Paris!
The first time I came to Paris I was fresh out of high school and on my first sans parents backpacking trip with my best friend. These were the days before everyone had smart phones, when you had to use calling cards or Internet cafes every few weeks to let family or friends know where you were. Perhaps I’m glorifying these days (a sign of getting older!?), but I remember Paris being absolutely magical!
We took photos underneath the twinkling Eiffel Tower at night (that I’m pretty sure we uploaded to MySpace once we were home), romantically rowed boats at Versailles, and ate all the croissants a girl could ever desire. Many years later I’ve since been back to the City of Light a few times, and it’s always just as magical – with a million more things to see, eat and do around every beautiful Parisian street corner!
Putting these videos together takes me oh-so long, which is a clear indication of just how professional I am at it ;-). But this one has taken me even longer to upload – so here it is! Without further adieu, a short video of a beautiful long weekend away in Paris.
Love Love.

As much as I love London, every few months my feet are restless for some walking, that doesn’t involve the daily commute to school, my lungs are desperate for clean air and my soul longs for a pretty mountain view. With its rushing rivers, deep valleys and craggy peaks, a weekend in Chamonix filled me up with so many good things–wine, cheese, meat, breathtakingly beautiful hikes, sunshine and long nights of card games.
