Paris (darling!)


We went to Paris last weekend to visit friends who have an apartment just minutes from the Eiffel Tower. We could only stay for the weekend but, goodness, it was great to be back in the capital. The last time I was in Paris was 7 years ago when Ben lived in Vincennes.

Paris hasn't changed since then (obviously) but our lives now include Emma and Jack. Indeed, their presence changed everything because after visiting the Eiffel Tower we then went on a tour of... Parisian parks! Did you know Paris has some great places for kids to play? Jack had his choice of carousel and he climbed and slid his way around 3 different playparks.



The highlight, though, still has to be the Eiffel Tower. We walked from our friends' apartment to the Trocadero which sits high, lording over the Tower with all of Paris at its mighty feet. We all had that moment of WOW and Jack definitely got a shock. The photo above shows that he just didn't know what to do with his eyes :-)



And Emma? Unfazed by everything! Me, cute? I know it (darling).


So, I hope wherever you are that you are feeling cute and you are the centre of your own world,
hugs,
