Anna's 30th Birthday in Paris!!


What a birthday! We had an unbelievable trip to Paris and loved every second of it. The Eurostar was great and so easy! Amazing to be in London and a few hours later in Paris! We stayed right off of the Champs Elysees, which was magnificent! They still have the street decorated for the holidays, so it felt quite festive! We once again ate our way through the city- we are getting quite good at that!! Luckily we walked everywhere so felt we deserved the delicious chocolate croissants, cheese, bread, crepes, ice cream.... We went to fun dinners, one of which was on top of the Pompidou and had a view of the entire city. We finished off the trip with a trip to the Eiffel Tower and the Musee d'Orsay. Once we were home Sunday night we couldn't believe we had been on the Eiffel Tower earlier that day. This is quite an experience, to say the least!!!


Then, on Monday, my actual birthday, my London friends took me to high tea- it was so sweet of them and made my birthday very special! And then to top off the perfect 30th birthday, Allegra is in town for the week! What a TREAT!! So after Nils and Allegra worked all day they took me out to dinner and a pub quiz. You know how we love games! Needless to say we lost due to the fact that the first round was general British knowledge. Dan and Esther came and helped us in the last few rounds, but the damage had already been done. It was a the perfect way to enter the next decade!!!
