Today I want to wish my partner in crime Donna Potts a Happy Birthday. 3 years ago today Donna and her husband Geoff and Michael and I left for Paris, the year before Donna had asked me what I thought we should do for her 40th birthday and I looked at her and said Paris. Well we made it happen and it was so worth it, Paris in the Springtime is amazing, and I thought today I would share with you some pictures from that trip. I’ve shared a few pics from Paris before, but I’ll honestly use any excuse to go through my pictures and pick out a few more. So sit back, relax and walk the streets of the City of Light with us, Enjoy!!!

One of my favorite places we visited was Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, the monuments were amazing.

We visited Rodin’s home and gardens, which have now been turned into a museum.

Our last night in Paris we took one last trip to the Eiffel Tower, so glad we did.
