Paris Visit -- A Blog From Bryan

So our trip to France has come and gone but the memories and video shall last forever.

I had fairly high expectations going into our trip to Paris. Matt had just got home from his trip and his stories were making me very excited. We left the United States at 5:00pmish EST. Kyrstin and I found our seats on the plane and as it turns out the plane was probably 50% filled. Kyrstin and I had a whole row to ourselves right in the front row. We had more room than mom had in her upgraded seats. So that was awesome.

We get to France and Mom does a great job taking us through the airport through customs and to baggage claim. We get our bags no problem and head to the taxis. She made me very proud. I dont know why she says she can't do things. She even gave him the directions en france. Our taxi driver looked just like Jean Reno from the movie the Professional. He weaved in and out of traffic which made Kyrstin extremely nervous. We finally get to the apartment and the trip can finally begin.
