Boat Cruise and Bruges

After a week of rainy, windy, drizzly weather, Paris presented herself with a gorgeous day of sun and light breeze. Our excursion of the day was to take a boat tour on the Seine and view major monuments near the river.
  




















First time seeing the tower lit up!                                                                              We have a small Eiffel Tower and they have a small  Statue of                                                                                                                                         Liberty so I thought I'd take a picture in case I  never get to see the actual Statue of                                                                                                                                                                                                               Liberty

I think I'm truly forgetting how to smile for pictures, especially since I haven't been doing as much smiling as usual as it could be culturally  misconstrued as a sign of interest in another person romantically.  
                                                                                       



We'll always have Paris <3 so cute!:)
