I flew out to Paris alone to surprise my BFF Aimee and spend my birthday in my favorite city!! She had no idea I was coming to visit her.


|
It was burning up in LA but only 40 degrees in Paris so I had to layer |
 |
Thanks for the best birthday present my heart! I’ll miss you and Liv. |

I enjoyed flying Air New Zealand, the flight attendants were sweet and of course the safety video featured the Lord of the Rings stars. |


There used to be a neighborhood called Surfridge here back in the 1920’s, LAX bought the land because it’s in the flight path
Au revoir Los Angeles!

The food wasn’t as tasty as Virgin Atlantic |

I arrived the next day with a short layover in London. This is Aimee’s beautiful building |

Luckily, she had an elevator for her 6th floor apartment |
Seriously, her reaction is the best in history, sorry for her foul mouth but I find it too funny!
My first day exploring Paris alone while Aimee was in school.



I bought some toys for my baby at this awesome mall of toy stores. I wish I remembered the name, it was in the 2nd arrondissement. |
 |
Ever since Liv found a Calico Critter toy in Amsterdam, she has been into them hardcore. They aren’t as popular in the states so I picked up as many sets that could fit in my already full luggage. |





I spent six hours wandering the streets, the weather was cold but all the walking kept me warm. I wore a skirt and no coat most days, it’s the California girl in me! |
 |
Most fountains were empty, I wonder if they only fill them in warmer months? |

Such a cute all-girls school, I wish Liv could attend one day! |
 |
My iPhone cord broke so I had to buy a new one, how pretty is the Apple Store? |

City Hall is always gorgeous, even in rainy weather! |
 |
I love the buskers in the Metro, I always feel like I’m in the film, Amelie |
 |
I’m sure I was the only person in Paris wearing yellow and taking Metro selfies, I’m a gross American tourist! |
 |
I was listening to Björk’s new album on my headphones all day and she kept popping up everywhere |
I took tons more of photos
here.
I love Paris in the spring!!
