Paris, Tome 1

I had a lovely weekend, thank you. I'll probably gush about it for most of the week. Let me know if it gets old.

It actually started out with a sputter. The train ride there was horrific. But I'll post about that another day. Let's start off with something positive.

The last time I went to Paris was in the summer of 2005. Husband and the boys and I spent 10 days in a friend's apartment in the Bastille neighborhood. We had a great time.

But spending time in Paris with young kids is very different from spending time there with a girlfriend. Even more so because she likes food and wine and coffee as much as I do.

And everyone knows that being with a friend, someone who really knows you (and in this case, has known me for nearly 20 years) is like coming home.

So, basically, it was like a fabulous weekend at home with a very close friend, but with better food and a perfect setting.

Jealous, I tell you! Jealous! And come on, did you have to rub it in? "like the fabulous weekend at home with a very close friend, but with better food and a perfect setting"... uh, DUH! Paris?!?!?! IS there any better setting? I don't think so!

Can't wait to hear the details.

You told me to email you so you could provide contact info in case my son needs any assistance while in France, but there is no email link on your profile, mon cher. Email me, okay? The link on my profile works. Au revoir!

The real question is how much football and junk food did the boys have while you were gone?
