Happy birthday!

My husband had one simple gift request to Celebrate his big number: à weekend à deux in Paris. Feasible ! Except if it was not the four kids and the dog needing a synchronised care solution for 24hours. And no, we still do not have the au pair to take the relay- but ode to dear friends and class mates we did it! Intensive preparations on Saturday morning, dropping off the kids to three different destinations and we were sitting in Thalys on our way to Paris. Champs Elyse, spy exposition, Cabaret and Monet paintings. Morning sauna and spa. Paris never disappoints. Walking by the grand boulevards, place de Vosges, by the Seine. There is something eternally romantic and energising in the City. Happy and tired, we pick-up the kids on Sunday afternoon. It has been an adventure for them too, my youngest 1st sleepover, restaurant dinner, movie night and even a guest at the scouts outing. One-on-one weekend - not a once a month fair perhaps to do, but surely little more often than every 10 years! And of course happy to see my youthful birthday husband so pleased ❤️
