Flâneur Friday: Spring Blooms

S

Alright, so technically these pictures are more than a month old, but life got busy, and I never got a chance to post them. So I figured what better day for a belated post than our last Friday in Paris! A little cheer on this sad day for me!

It's hard for me to pick a favorite season in Paris because they are all beautiful in their own right, but I think spring might just make the top of the list. The blooms and sunshine just put everyone in a good mood, and I never want to forget this magical season in Paris.

Last Hurrah: Mooning in Croatia

Ok, so we weren't really mooning anyone in Croatia, but we like to joke that this was our joint babymoon/honeymoon with Skee & Michelle. We didn't realize until after we booked this trip that it would be our last trip before baby and their first trip since getting married in February. No matter what you call it, it was a fantastic 9 days of sun and relaxation in beautiful Croatia with great friends.

Our route started in Dubrovnik, then on to the island of Korcula for a few days before heading to Split. This was one of the most relaxed trips Nick and I have ever done, as there really weren't any "must-dos" for us in any of these locations. We were happy to sleep in, wander the old cities, and just enjoy the views. Croatians' laid-back natures seemed to rub off on us; no one was in a rush to do anything, yet everyone was happy!

Tuscany: Relaxation & Pasta Overload

The last two months have been crazy for Nick at work, with being off shore for 3 weeks and then coming back to Paris and working pretty much 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. We decided a vacation was in order! When flights to our first choice, Corsica, were ridiculously high, we went for the next obvious option...Italy. Yes, we've been there a lot. And no, it never gets old. With dirt cheap flights to Pisa, even just a few weeks in advance, we decided to rent a car and explore the Tuscany region.

More Pastry Tastings!

After our croissant tasting, we've been on a tasting kick: eclairs and lemon tarts were next on the list! We've learned that sweet pastries can lead to sugar crashes and tummy aches, but it's so worth it!

Flâneur Friday: A Long Walk through the City

This week, again, continued with glorious spring weather. It actually was a bit summer-like for a few days with sun and temps near 80! So, when I had an AWG event in the Marais, I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and walk there. It was a long one: an hour and half, but it sure didn't seem like that as I was taking in all the beauty this city has to offer!
