I'm in France. Paris, to be exact. I've pulled the kids out of school. And yes, we're loving it.
Only problem in France? Everyone is speaking French. I, on the other hand, parle Anglaise then lapse into Italian. For crying out loud - I'm not trying to be difficult, but I can't help it. At least I'm not speaking to them in Chinese. They should be grateful.

The kids have gone into tourist mode. In the week we've been in Paris, we've climbed the Eiffel Tower, visited the Louvre, walked the Museum of Magic, took pictures at the Wax Museum, went boating down the Seine, shopped the Champs Elysees, lit candles at St Eustache de Eglise, toured Amelie's Montmartre and had crepes near Rue Montorgueille. For you plebs, Rue Montorgueille is merely this 'street of food' that spans three blocks in the 2nd Arrondisement ...

Okay of course it's funny to ignore the 'no climbing' sign on the side of Eiffel tower for that photo op. But when your kids sink their teeth into their first baguette and fall in love with bread, now that's special. And when my daughter orders Confit de Canard as her preferred dish over hamburger, it makes me feel like the trip is worth it. Even though I now tend to huddle over my food worried the cretins will steal it off my plate.
Just kidding. They're good kids. Almost.
There's not been a day when we've come back utterly tired. There are of course those times when you need to kick back and sit by the pool. And we'll probably need to do so after we finish with France.
But for now, we're on a mission.
