Paris Encore

Ok, so maybe I had a little too much wine, but either way how many of you can say you dressed up as Borat and ran along side the Peloton at Le Tour de France? As you may have surmised by now, we recently took what may very well be our last trip (for a while at least) to Paris. We went with the intention of seeing the final stage of "The Tour" but the gods had something else in mind for the Trainor Clan. This is Madeleine and I enjoying a huge breakfast at what turned out to be a great American Style breakfast place. If you are wondering if Sadie and I recognized the irony in traveling to Paris to eat an American breakfast, we did. Unfortunately this place is only one of a handful of American Breakfast places we have seen in two and a half years so the Croque Monsieur had to wait.








The Ladies taking in the sites..
Laid some fowers for Jim and took in the tower.


Here is Mad navigating the apartment (which was about 200 meters from the Notre Dame, awesome find Sadie).






Ad hoc headgear, now that Mad is getting more mobile she needs some protection!! And here is the lot of us in the stairwell of the apartment, which must have been hundreds of years old.



Back on the train and living it up




These pictures are not of this last Paris trip but I needed to post them. (clockwise from the left) Madeleine woke up the other day, crawled out into the living room and sat in this beautiful ray of light coming in. I was fortunate enough to have the camera within reach. This is Madeleine about 60 seconds after waking up one morning, she wakes up and is immedieatly in a good mood!!! Not sure where she gets that from? And finally, post bath and feeling good.























Hope everyone is doing great!! All three of us are psyched to be headed back to the States to see some of you, it has been way too long. See you in a few weeks!! Love to all.
