countdown to paris


i have traveling on the brain and for good reason. i'm heading to paris in exactly two weeks. i've been there a couple of times but there is always something new to discover and the thrill of returning never dies.

i remember reading gwyneth paltrow recount her first time in paris. how her father took her and at the end of their trip told her, “I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who would always love you, no matter what.” this, of course, tugged at my daddy's-girl-heart-strings.

i have to say though...the first time i went, i went with one of my best girl friends and it was amazing. i've since gone back with my husband and it was, again, amazing.

for me, paris is really for everyone. mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, sisters, brothers, lovers, friends. it is one of those places you can visit again and again and it finds a different way into your heart.

this time around, i'm going with another one of my best girl friends. it will be her first visit there and i couldn't be more excited! our goal is to eat our way through the city.

are we there yet??? i'm hungry.
