Paris ( and London) in Spring

I never claim to be the most prompt person on the planet and this just proves it. Sweet Pea went to Paris for Spring Break with my mother-in-law and I am just now getting around to downloading and organizing  her pictures. Bless her heart, she has been so patient with me. I wanted to share some of the highlights with you. What an amazing time they had! They were able to get away for one day, and head across the channel to London. My girl loved London! I guess it is in her genes. Paris was fun, too. Sweet Pea was thrilled by the Eiffel Tower (an item on her ten year old bucket list - check), she loved all the churches (her words), Parisian hot chocolate scored big with her but macaroons did not. She purchased a green beret and came home wearing a very grown-up scarf tied around her neck. Yes, Paris (and London) in Spring are wonderful!

Sweet Pea took a lot of pictures of food - this was her favorite hot chocolate

This was her "Look Mom, I am in London and you're not!"

Sweet Pea and her Parisian scarf - so grown-up!

Au Revoir!

All of the pictures today were taken by my Sweet Pea!

Au Revoir Sweet Pea!

Sweet Pea is going to Paris for Spring Break with my mother-in-law. Am I jealous, insanely, but I am so happy for my girl. This is one of her "bucket list" places and she could not be more excited. I know that she is in more than capable hands, but sending my baby girl abroad gives me a little catch in my throat.

But then I think of her taking in a scene like this...

And how excited she is about going to the Louvre.

And sharing a moment like this with her grandmother.

And macaroons from Laduree.

And strolling the Champs Elysees

And climbing the Eiffel Tower...

Well, the catch in my throat is still there, but I am so happy for her. Talk about living vicariously through your children... guilty!

Au Revoir and safe travels,

Mom
