Thinker

Our next day in Paris was a mish mosh of adventures. It started off with my brother and I taking baby E to get our morning coffee and croissant. A tradition I'm trying to keep alive while back in the states and desperately wishing I was still in Paris. Note to Central Market: please never be out of croissants again...I'm developing a habit. Thank you. Next the whole family went to Napoleon's tomb. I'm telling you, this was one elaborate grave site. Do you think he was compensating for anything? Next we took a short walk to the Rodin museum, the only museum we went to on this trip. I wasn't about to wait in that crazy long line at the Louvre. This was definitely worth the trip. Walking around the garden was really peaceful and it wasn't very crowded. My kind of way to experience and enjoy the art. The day finished off with us wandering aimlessly around Paris stopping at Cafes and Patisseries along the way. One can't just go into one Patisserie there are too many goodies to choose from!

Paris, L'amour

Here's a quick outfit post on our first day in Paris. This day was spent mostly traveling from London to Paris via train. I would love to tell you about the amazing scenery or how quick the trip was...but honestly I have no idea because I was passed out the whole time. Not sleeping a lot in London I jumped on the opportunity to catch some zzz's.

Once in Paris we checked into our hotel and high tailed it to the Louis Vuitton on the Champs-Elysees. You see, my Unlce promised Baby E a Louis item of her choice if she would come out of the womb naturally...and I'm sure you guessed that she took him up on his offer and was delivered just a mere few hours later. We thought bringing Baby E into Louis with a stroller would hinder us from shopping, but in fact it got us VIP treatment. We didn't have to wait in line like the others and were helped right away. Baby E walked away with a few great items and I walked away with a fabulous charm.

Brunch

The Sunday Amanda was here we went to brunch at Backstreet Cafe. I didn't realize how popular this place was so I didn't have a reservation. However, I called that morning and was able to get a 1pm reservation (thank you rain for the cancellation).  After brunch we went to see The Vow with Channing Tatum. The movie was just decent, but I definitely enjoyed watching Channing Tatum!

When we sat down at our table they brought us this small plate of muffins and scones. My favorite was the simple walnut scone.

I ordered the benedict without meat and Amanda ordered the waffle, which looked delicious!

Here are just some snapshots we took at the table. It was pouring down rain outside which is why there are no full outfit photos.
