Day 11 - Oh my, Versailles!

For an anniversary gift, I bought Ryan a day trip to Versailles with viator.com. The day that we leave is also the same day we need to check out of our hotel and catch our train to Rome at 6pm. The day tour only goes til 12, so we should manage just fine. I'm so excited and I heard it's just incredible.

I'm really excited to see the gardens and the hall of mirrors.

If you're planning a trip soon, I would highly recommend using Viator. They have just about every tour and activity you can think of and if you're going to a new place, it's a great way to get acquainted without feeling so intimidated. 

28 days and counting

I am in LOVE. With maccroons. Small enough to eat one without feeling too bad and they come in enough colors and flavors to satisfy anyone's sweet craving. After endless research for the perfect pastry, I have come across the adorable Laduree.

With flavors like caramel, chocolate, orange, pistachio, and coffee I might just have to buy a few!

This will be one of our first stops on Day 1 while we walk down the Champs Elysees. Another great maccaroon place with flavors like balsamic and pear is called Gerard Mulot.
