Though we were only gone for a two weeks, it felt like months. We all needed it. We're of course close, the three of us, but in Paris, and then in the South of France we were inseparable. It was hard to show them my favorite city in just four days but I tried. Besides the Eiffel Tower we took a bateau mouche along the Seine river and of wandered through Notre Dame...
Here are the kids out front. They haven't seen "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" yet but now want to:

What I will remember most about these two weeks, however, is how much we played together. On the beach we swam together or played paddle ball and I have to say that they would spend hours playing and giggling with each other allowing me to sneak off and write a bit.
I realize times are so hard and a lot of people are canceling their vacations but really think the rest of the year is too hard without a great summer treat.
How about you? Are you getting away this summer? You deserve it.
