Back home
Paris was fun, but it's good to be home. It was a tiring trip-on the go all the time. I loved seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night-it's gorgeous. My favorite part (other than shopping) was the Louvre-I"m such an art geek. The Champs Elysses was also fun-lots of shopping. They have a huge Sephora-went a little crazy in there-worth every penny though.
The flight back to Leeds was interesting-it's only about an hour flight. There were wind advisories around Leeds, so we had to circle above for a bit. The pilot kept reassuring us that he had enough fuel for us to circle around for an hour-ignorance may be bliss. Anyway, we finally we got the go ahead to land and it was very bumpy-most of the cabin clapped when we finally touched ground.
I'm getting a little more confident driving. I made it to the grocery store (about 3 miles) and back with no mishaps- it was even dark outside and raining a bit. It's a small accomplishment, but practice makes perfect.
