Mommy- daughter bonding in Paris

Kayden and I headed down to Paris for an overnight mommy daughter bonding trip. My good friend Claire was in town with her son so we were able to have some wonderful hang out time. It was refreshing to be with an old friend who is in a similar place in life (has a toddler, pregnant, husband is deployed, used to live in France, now lives where we did in NY). We wandered the streets, braved the Metro with a stroller (NO esculators or elevators), shopped, picnic in the park and amazing ice cream.

Not allowed to play on the grass!!!! Rip off!!!

Pretty sure the hotel had Kayen sleep in the linen cart

Our morning walk to the Arc de Triumph

Place de Concord

Kayden crying in our final Metro station because A) The wheel fell off the stroller B) the train was so crowded we had to wait for the next one C) French BO is HORRIBLE!! D) She did not want to say good bye to her buddy Theo
