Though the time was nice, I was excited to see Mads after one week away.<\/p>\n

When we finally met up, she buried her head in grany’s arm and then ran into mine, saying, “mommy!” Then, as she always does, she told everyone that this is “mommy”. She had changed while we were gone, for one, she was speaking & understanding French – amazing!<\/p>\n

\"fishing<\/a>

Feeling unmotivated to shop (I know something must be wrong with me), we decided to take Mads back to the Jardin d’Acclimatation<\/a> in the Bois de Boulogne – she had gone earlier in the week with grany & granpy. Okay, this place is a kid’s heaven…I don’t think we have anything quite like it here in the Bay Area – not to my knowledge at least. It’s a mix between a petting zoo, the Children’s Playground<\/a> and a carnival or county fair, but permanent. Mads ran around like crazy, checking out the animals, fishing for ducks. She seemed really intrigued by the mini-dragon roller coaster.<\/p>\n

Before we knew it, we were packing up, including all the loot miss Mads received for her birthday. Luckily, I had packed my Longchamps<\/a> tote and we were able to throw toys, books, and other miscellaneous items we collected on the way, like the double sized Nemo beach towel that we couldn’t leave the Disney store without. Yup.<\/p>\n

We said our goodbyes at the airport and waited to board our flight home. Surprisingly, the flight was not full and we managed to have a whole row to ourselves. Mads managed to nap after takeoff and before landing.<\/p>\n

Before we knew it we were home safe & sound…though I was hoping for cooler weather as a Bay Area heat welcomed us home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
