Spotted in Paris ❤

Paris has some of the most beautiful places.  This ended up being a prison and it was still so pretty.  You can get a museum pass that gets you in to tons of places you might not go otherwise.  This was one of those stops.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast right by this open air market that I visited the last time I was in Paris!  It was major Deja Vu

The cutest little police car ever?

Spotted ❤ Model Behavior

We even saw a photo shoot at an open air market!  That just seems so Paris.

Spotted ❤ A couple of days in Paris

I absolutely loved Paris and the Musee d'orsay.  We didn't make it to the Louvre on this visit, but I went to the Louvre on an earlier Paris trip.  The Musee d'orsay was so different--so accessible.  I loved the fact that I might be in a room in the museum by myself.  I think I also just loved the genres highlighted in the museum.  Apparently, impressionist and post-impressionist are my thing?  Whatever it was I felt inspired.  It made me want to start painting again.  

It was truly a wonderful experience to be in Paris.  I went to Paris before, years ago with Cottey College during my second year at the women's college.  This trip was so different.  Even though we were only able to spend two nights in the city of light, I absolutely loved it.  I wanted to go back before I had even left.

Adorable B&B

Yummy B&B breakfast

Spotted ❤ Bath, England

I absolutely LOVE Bath!!!!

Cute shops line the streets

We did a bus tour and the weather was gorgeous & sunny!

I saw some beautiful spots.

We did lunch at Sally Lunn's

Vegetable Ratatouille

A super fun spot was the Fashion Museum.

You can even try on a hoop skirt.  I loved it.  Maybe not for everyday wear, but just for fun every once in a while to look like Scarlett O'Hara?

Jlo's famous green Versace dress

Touring the Roman baths was the highlight of the day!

The water grows algae very quickly because it's nice and warm

We finished our day at the actual spa that uses the water from the hot spring.  It was a twilight special and dinner was even included!  The had the most amazing rooftop pool.  I could have spent the whole week there... but then I would not have been able to go to PARIS! :)

Odds & Ends ❤ It's like starbucks

It's like a Starbucks...English style?  My friend said it was England's Starbucks.  It was A LOT less sweet than a Starbucks frappuccino and I'm definitely a sweet girl.

Spotted ❤ A White Horse

When my friend and wonderful guide Lindsay took me to see the white horse, I did not realize it was literally going to be a white horse!  

Spotted ❤ Avebury, England

This was another great spot with more giant rocks!  Who doesn't LOVE that?

The great thing about Avebury is that you actually get to go close to the rock circle and can even touch the rocks.

The circle of rocks is so big that you can't see the whole thing when you are walking around, but you can take a nice loop around the town.

And the rock circle literally goes through the town, which was (of course) adorable!

So pretty!

You can see the rocks forming a tiny part of the huge rock circle here...

It was such a beautiful place to visit.  I would definitely recommend it.

Spotted ❤ Stonehenge

Apparently, Stonehenge is not the that big of deal for people that live England.  But when I found out we were going to get to go to Stonehenge, I was sooooo excited.  Isn't it one of the wonders of the world?  I had no idea when I first booked my trip to England that we would get to go.  I LOVED it.  It was one of my favorite spots to visit.  Yes, it's touristy, but I'm totally OK with it. :)

Me & Lindsay

It's just a place where you have to take A LOT of photos

We were fascinated with these little signs!  TANK CROSSING

We had lunch at the cutest little pub with a thatched roof called The White Horse

Lindsay's lemonade (it's basically sprite)

Fish n' Chips - CHECK

Lindsay's meal

You can tell how old the building is by the height!  I got to feel nice & tall
