| Morning view of Paris - Rainbows are always great to see! |
A little of everything....
It's the third week of school and we are still trying to find the routine of the family. The juggle of where activities fit in and who has what when - is always a bit of a challenge with having 3 girls. Needless to say, this has zapped into some of my blogging time. In addition, I had a wonderful opportunity late last week to visit with my sister-in-laws from Boston up in Paris. Too good of an opportunity to pass up (I hadn't seen her in over a year)...but again the organization of being away for 3 days takes some time. Throw in my laptop computer malfunctioning last week - it's been a bit crazy here! Currently, using my daughter's laptop - thank goodness!!
So briefly - in Paris - I enjoyed some "Girl" time! We toured the Musee Marmatton Monet (we met up with Nicky from Growing Berries), lunched and then did a little shopping and browsing along the Champs-Élysées.

It was fun to just have a relaxing time! Enjoyed some nice meals - both unique (Tapas) & traditional. Returned refreshed and relaxed!! There is just something about girl bonding time!!

| Fun Tapas meal - breaded Calamari |
 |
| Of course - Mojito's are always delicious! |
 |
| Fell in love with this entree - Fresh Artichoke hearts, Arugula & shaved Emmental cheese |
