30 Week Picture Challenege - Week 5

A picture of your favorite memory




Ok...so I had more than one picture.

One of my favorite set of memories is my second trip to France.  Don't get me wrong, my first trip was awesome too because I went with some of my greatest friends.  But the second time I went I didn't have a whole lot of buddies at my side, so I actually got to learn while I was there and pay attention to the sites.

I got to see "The Thinker" and walk through the Luxembourg Gardens and of course visit the swanky Moulin Rouge.  During this trip I got to practice my French more, I took more meaningful pictures and finally got to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower.  Yikes.

I also know my mom put out a lot of money for me to go on this trip.  It cost a lot of money to get there and a lot of money to spend over there.  I remember crying on the charter bus on the way back from Normandy thinking "damn I'm such a horrible child for putting her through this".  I got back to Paris and bought her a snow globe...like that could add up to it all.

So the trip had mixed feelings, but it was still a blast.  I grew up a little on that trip.  Then I came home and got engagaed to my husband and hit the ground running.
