Beloved Bastille

IMG_2662.JPG

We’ve just returned from a few magical days in Paris. We did as the locals do, ate as much French cuisine as we could handle (even the butter is divine)… had wine with the locals below the towering Eiffel Tower, took in the Bastille Day fireworks from a Glass roof river cruiser along the Seine (complete with white tablecloths and a 5 course meal and TWO champagne toasts…not to mention the 4 piece string band that happened to play our song) and had an overall amazing getaway.

30′s not so bad afterall :)
Now, we’ll settle back in to life in London.But, not before we share some photos and a more complete post about the weekend away. Look back later this week for more.

    It sounds as if you had a lovely birthday, but I’ll say it anyway… “Happy Birthday!”

    What a fabulous romantic way to spend a 30th birthday. It was also neat to have fireworks as well. Even though you are traveling the world, you will always remember this birthday as a very special one!!!

    Thanks Nancy! It was a happy day…fortunately, most days are :) Hope the same’s true in your neck of the woods these days…

    And, Virginia, you’re right. Fireworks are my favorite! Ever since we moved abroad, July 4th has been a sad, sad day…no fireworks. This year, I’ll get not only Guy Fawkes day in November, but also Bastille Day by trade. Not bad…it’s a good vintage I think :)
