Our first day in Paris was pretty much the only sunny day out of our 12 days in Europe (after that, it started raining and dropped to a brisk 60 degrees), and thankfully, that's the day I took most of these pictures.

When we arrived at the airport, we took the train to our hotel, checked in, and spent the rest of the day walking around with no destination in mind - just taking in the sights - and when we got tired, we'd stop at a little cafe for a glass of wine or a mug of hot chocolate and some people watching. It was by far my most favorite day of the entire trip. When I think about Paris years from now, I want to remember that day - in the sun - with no plans - and no lines - just me and Mason, sitting on park benches and soaking it all in.
