I'm Back ...

And we're back. It seems like we've been gone forever! We had the most amazing time and I now know first hand what people mean when they say that Parisians have that certain je ne sais quoi. Especially when I ran into Inés de la Fressange (I know I mentioned this on Twitter already. Sorry, I'm still excited about that one). A few quick Paris notes ... chocolate is serious, Vespa's are king, the energy is inspiring and abundant, and French women have way better wind blown hair than I do. How do they manage to look that amazing on a bicycle or scooter?

This photo here is one I snapped while having lunch in the park near the Eiffel Tower one afternoon. I have a ton more I will share throughout the next week or so from Paris, as well as Lyon, and Amsterdam where we ended our trip. For now I'm going to settle into "normal" life and hug the heck out of the kids. Had an amazing, wonderful trip but I couldn't be happier to be home:)

And once again a huge thank you to Kate, Siri, Theresa, Brandis, Ana D., Lisi, and Ana P. for holding down the Happenstance fort while I was gone!
