Ellie's Trip to Paris

Hey everybody!<br /><br />Ellie, Mere, and I had an AMAZING time in Paris! Seeing Ellie's face light up like it did when she first saw the Eiffel tower was one of the coolest moments I've had so far being a daddy. Furthermore, it was important for Mere and me to share our love for Paris with Ellie, and I love how much Ellie already loves this city. Her brain was a sponge as we taught her about culture there (here's a nerdy side note: I was on French Culture Bowl in high school, and won first place at foreign language field day for French vocab or reading or something...)<br /><br />Here are some of my favorite touristy dad pics from the city:<br /><br />Ellie rode the same carousel that Mere and I photographed an engagement session at before...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
