It is always best to write a post while things are fresh in your head. But you can't always do that. For this particular post, it is actually fun to write it weeks later. An excuse to dive back into such good, happy memories. We had an absolute blast.
The trip was bittersweet.
The bitter: It was originally planned for my mom, sis and I to celebrate big sis's 40th. But that damn leg of hers had other plans.
The sweet: With my sister's hospital bed blessing, I invited some PDX girlfriends, at the very last minute, to rally to Paris. And rally they did!
Another bittersweet detail that I can't leave out: Upon my return from Paris, my world was rocked by terrible news. Having deposited a Paris high into my emotional bank has been so good for my soul as I weather the emotional storm of losing my girl KK.
Before the trip, I spent some time pulling together this little map. We did almost everything on it. The places (food, shops, etc.) on it were either places I knew of already, or places I had read about from stephmodo or design sponge (both excellent paris sources). We added some other stops too - L'Orangerie, and some restaurants pictured below.
The following pictures are in no logical order, but they are all fabulous - because you can't take a bad picture on a girls weekend in Paris.
When your dress matches les fleurs in le jardin du Luxembourg, a photo op is obvious...duh...
Ooh la la Paris, we'll be back!
Apres Paris, 3/4 of the girls trained back to AMS with me for a super quick tour of my Dutch life. That post should will be soon...the visit was so much fun.
