A Month In Paris – A Gift from Mr. B

in Blog, Grand Adventures, Travel on 12/04/07

One night Mr. B asked me what was something I always wanted to do but never was able to do. I told him I always wanted to live in Paris even if it was just for one month.  A few weeks later under the Christmas tree was an envelope and inside was a card with enough money to make that wish come true.  I started planning that night.  I looked online for an apartment to rent.  I wasn’t looking for five stars but something nice, big enough for company and location, location, location.  I found one in the center of Paris on the right bank very close to Pompidou.  I decided to go in April when the weather was nice but the tourist season wasn’t crazy.   My Grand Adventure was on.  I would be alone half the time and for one week two of my dear friends Lisa and Alana would join me and then Mr. B would come for a week too.

Paris in the spring was magical. Seeing Notre Dam was everything I thought it would be.

I climbed to the top and hung out with the gargoyles.

I also went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower and this was the view. My girlfriends didn’t want to go but I highly recommend it.

Another thing I would recommend is going on a cruise on the Seine. It was very relaxing and I saw a different perspective of many of the landmarks.

This is what you say goodnight to every night in Paris.

Oh, hi there!

I like to describe myself as a woman of leisure but in reality I’m Mr. B’s project manager. It’s not a bad gig and it does come with many benefits. I plan our trips, as we travel the world. I'm kept busy creating and designing our beautiful homes. The best perk is I usually chose the movie we see every Friday. I’m a part-time artist, with aspirations of becoming a full-time artist. Painting, photography and all types of crafting are my true loves. I like to say I’m an artist of many mediums and master of none.
My finest creations would be my five children. I’ve also allow them to parent my thirteen amazing grandchildren. My grandchildren are all brilliant, beautiful, spirited and take after me – their Mimi.

Stay updated!
