1. reading The King in the Window to the kids
K.J.'s mom found this book about a 12-year-old American boy in Paris that she gave us for Christmas, and since it is filled with locations around Paris and Versailles that we'll get to see, and has humor aimed at middle-grade kids, it's been such a fun read this week. We're about halfway through it.
2. looking through old family photos
Thank you for all your kind words on my Mother's Day post. It was pure nostalgia!
3. attending a small group at a lovely home outside the city
We relished the company, the quiet, and the smell of roses. Paris has a lot of beautiful things, but it also has millions of people, cigarette smoke, honking horns, and the roar of a dozen motorcycles in your ears. Walking down quiet streets was nice.
4. visiting the Louvre with Lua
It was so fun to go after dinner when it was less crowded and without the kids this time. The Louvre is so big, and we walked thousands of steps before finding what we were looking for, which is not the most fun thing to do with kids. The Egyptian things are just so, so cool.
5. being creative
I thought I would make a little something bookish for our ladies book exchange tomorrow to remember the day. I thought and thought about what quote might encapsulate marriage and books, but then realized it was obviously the opening lines of Pride and Prejudice.
