Drew had the opportunity to go to Paris for work and luckily for me, the timing worked out for me to go with him! We spent 9-days there in total – all vacation for me with a mix of work/play for Drew. This was my second time visiting Paris, my first being in college while I was studying abroad. This was Drew’s first time so we visited all of the major sites! Here is the itinerary for our 9-day trip to Paris. Travel Accommodations Airfare: Round-trip, non-stop flight with Delta Airlines operated by Air France from Houston (IAH) to Paris (CGD) Hotel: Le Relais Saint Honore, 308 rue Saint-Honore 75001…

Weekend Bachelorette Party in Austin!
It’s been 3 since getting married, but almost 4 months since my bachelorette party! My sister and Maid of Honor planned such a fun weekend with my closest friends.

I went to school in Austin for 5 years to get my Bachelor and Master degrees…
