Day 3 & 4, I could get use to this.

[Warning: this post is full of a lot of pictures.]

I can't believe that it is already Friday.
Time seriously flies so fast when you are having fun.
Yesterday we started our day out pretty early because we were going to climb all the stairs to the very top of the Eiffel Tower, but once we got there the line was super long and we still had to wait an hour to even buy a ticket. 
Yes we were going to pay to put ourselves through walking up 7 million stairs. 
But we didn't and I think my legs are thanking me. 
Anywho, we took a stroll in a beautiful park,
bought a crepe and hot chocolate then snapped some more pictures of the beauty around us.


 Duck[ish] face.

We experienced the art of crepe making.

I spy the Eiffel tower




There is some weird voodoo with our selfie stick and taking pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower, and we definitely had a struggle



So there you go.


We then made our way over to the Arc De Triomphe.



And oh my goodness. 
It was definitely something that pictures couldn't do justice.




My "I am tired of pictures but we can't stop" face.

Then we went to hunt down some macaroons.





Picked out my future car too.



Then we went to an art museum, and I don't think I can tell you the name of it because I honestly don't know. I am so very observant I know.
It was very pretty though, but Chad was very disruptive.
Every single step he took his shoes squeaked. It was like when Spongebob Squarepants takes a step.
So we had to leave because we were getting dirty looks.
Dang you new shoes. 

Then we found a place to sit.
I think it had something to do with Poseidon, but none the less it was beautiful.
Also there were quite the amount of naked sculptures.


We then decided to call it a day because we were tired, and jet lag is still a very real thing.

Today was a good one too.
We went to the Sacré-Cœur, it is a cathedral that basically looks like a castle.
On our way up to the "castle" we had to hike some stairs, but it was a beautiful hike.



I am seriously still in awe about the beauty that came from it.






We always seem to time our visits to cathedrals perfectly, 
because right after this was taken a mas started.
It was such a cool experience.

Then there's this guy who was intentionally trying to photo bomb our picture.
It was actually kind of funny.


I can't tell you how thankful I am for him and his cute face. 
He put up with my grumpiness today because I had to pee and I couldn't find a bathroom and then had to pay .50 euros to go once I did find one at a subway of all places. 
It was kind of ridiculous, but he was so nice and sweet to me while I was being a grump. 
So, I love you Chad :).
Afterwards we headed over to meet my mom and step dad at their hotel!
We showed up too early because we disrupted their nap.
 Pff they were trying to catch up on sleep from the overnight flight,
sorry guys, no sleeping when you are in Paris. 

We went out to lunch/dinner with them and then we went to Notre Dame among the rest of Paris.
[There were SO many people there.] 
There was also a little bakery market going on right outside of Notre Dame, and I guess come to find out it was a holiday celebrating bakeries. 
[who woulda thought.]
So we got some bread and pastries and kept walking.

Then we figured out that all the musuems were closed because of the holiday so we 
decided to call it a night.
But not before we snapped some pictures. 
Cute little market.

Notre Dame, still so amazing.

My favorite travel companion.

So glad they made it here safely!

My cute mom.

And Chad thought it was funny how mad I was waiting in line to go to the bathroom,
 so he snapped a picture. 
Thanks hun.
