About 15 months ago my father and I made a trip to Paris followed by a roadtrip to Normandy, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. It was an amazing holiday and one I won't soon forget. It was a great time spent with my father doing something we both love: traveling.

One of the highlights of the trip for me was visiting Notre Dame Cathedral. When planning the trip I shrugged it off as something I'd like to see, but didn't think that it was exactly a vital part of the vacation. Needless to say...
