birthday and winter blues

It's definitely winter here these days.  Christian is not sleeping very well and I haven't been overly excited to turn 26 last week.

However, it was really nice to celebrate a bit of my birthday home with friends and family before we left the US - that felt pretty nice.  I did get a little birthday cake here with friends over the weekend, too.  Christian and I will plan something soon for a combined birthday celebration I think.

 

Christian and I's main gift to each other is the trip to Paris over his birthday/valentine's day weekend.  We booked a studio B&B (minus the breakfast haha) in Montmartre an outer 'quarter' of Paris built on a giant hill that has a good mix of locals and popular 'sites' to see.

I have a handful of things I want to see (photograph) but would love any inputs from any readers still out there (I know I've been slow)!  Paris by night seems to be a common theme.  We get there on Friday afternoon on Christian's birthday - any good birthday dinner restaurant suggestions?

Anyway, it's not as gloomy as the title of this post suggests.  Definitely looking forward to our weekend getaway in Paris!
