Paris

The other dreaded trip was so easy! Kids were great on the train and I packed well enough to walk from train to taxi with kids...luckily no frickin' elevator! And besides a minor incident which involved Sloane, almost running into the street while I was paying the taxi (so minor!), we made it to the hotel and Sean was there for HUGE hugs from all 3, or actually I should I say 4 of us!

The Hotel Brighton is perfect with a two room suite for us and nice breakfast (hooray room service!). We are across the street from the Tuileries Garden which has a whole amusement park as well as playgrounds and something called the Louvre...plenty of space for running and baby tantrums (see photo)

We are having such a great time in Paris; details to follow...Sean ran too far as usual in 100 degree heat, all three kids cried through the 30 minutes we spent at the Louvre (Reese had a fever) and we made it to the Eiffel Tower after a tour bus ride through Paris (absolutely the MOST touristy thing Sean and I have EVER done).

Lucky for me we are only a block from Colette, Zadig and Voltaire, Rue de Saint Honore...

Sending my love to California -only two more days until we see you again!!
