Best friends......in Paris. Except for Julie. :(

How many girls can say that they got to travel through Europe with their best friends?  I CAN!!  Except Julie couldn't come....so there was a little Julie sized gap in our whole vacation.  We love you Jules.  To kick off our kick A trip, I picked Nicole and Kirsti up from the airport and we headed straight to Paris.  We were completely "kid free" for 2 days.  It was amazing.  We ate, and walked, and decided walking sucked and took taxis, and ate some more, and saw some stuff, and ate some more, and took some more taxis.  It was a dream.  And what 3 girls in Paris WOULDN'T take every opportunity available for a fabulous photo shoot?  It was most definently supermodel documentary hour.  (name that movie).  Aaaaand, here we go:

Beautiful best friends in front  of the Louvre. 

I wish you could hear our dialogue during our random photo shoots.  "Look away!"  "Look past me." "Chin down." "Turn more to the side." "Super hot."  "Oh man, you're going to love this one." 

"And the next day I'm in New York on the cover of Vogue".  (name that movie.  hint: these quotes are all from the same movie).

Yes Nicole....I did crop this picture.  If you want to know why, you'll have to ask her. 

Nicoles good side.  My cry-laughing side.

Oh I love them.

Desperately searching for food around the Louvre.  And a toilet.  Nicole is getting REALLY desperate.

Kirsti hit a jet-lag high and started leaping down the streets of Paris.   With excellent form I might add.

Ahhh, we found food.  And it was delish.  As always.

Then we were off for another photo shoot.  We got some good ones. 

Pretty sure these are going to be our favorite memories of Paris.  Sitting on a city bench, laps full of deliciousness from the local bakery, laughing and talking and people watching.  Did I mention the delicious food?

It was really delicous.

I got to check out the Orsay for the first time and loved it.  But even more than loving the museum I loved sitting on the stairs in front of it listening to live music and eating more yummy food. 

And taking pictures with best friends.

And looking pretty for the local tourists.  Nicole had an excited fan come up to her wanting to know if she was Blake Lively. 

Inside of the Orsay.  Just an amazing picture.  Should be framed.  Just saying.

In front of Notre Dame

Nicole has a hard time passing up local play ground equipment.  Kirsti has a hard time saying "No".  haha.

Just a little old Arch.

Sometimes when you feel like your photo shoots aren't going well, you have to take matters into your own hands and Kirsti did here.  Luckily Nicole didn't pass up the opportunity to add to the picture.

Kirsti couldnt' believe that she found this statue of herself.

A little more dialogue for you:

Me: Grab the bars and lean backwards and look at the camera and I'll get the eiffel tower in the background.

Kirsti: Like THIS?"

Nicole: (just looks confused and happy....pictured above)

Me: Nicole, look at Kirsti, do it like Kirsti

Nicole: Like this?

Me: No....look at the camera! Your eyes are closed.  You're looking up, not at me.

Nicole: (insert some form of profanity)

Me: Do it like KIRSTI!

See! Now wasn't that worth it??

Then Nicole gives up.  Kirsti wins.

Nicole and Kirsti take Instagram VERY seriously.

Supermodel Kirsti.

Supermodel Nicole.

Aaaand an action shot of Kirsti walking through Paris to finish things off.

Just wait....next photo shoot, SALZBURG!
