Rick and I's vacation to London and Paris was such a wonderful treat and an amazing way to celebrate our 12 year wedding anniversary.....I'm spoiled rotten, I know! I am now officially in love with London, such a pristinely clean city and the parks, oh the parks, they are absolutely gorgeous. We were kinda like Chevy Chase though and did "drive bys" of most major sights, thanks to Pete, our fabulous driver at the hotel. It was great to sleep in (had to go 5000 miles to sleep in), wander around with no planned agenda, have cocktails overlooking the London skyline, hangout with our dear friends Kimmie, Jonathon and their kids, see Wicked (the flying monkies flat freaked me out!), and be together as just us! Wow! We rode the Eurostar to Paris and what a beautiful ride along the English and French countryside....the beautiful little villages with the picturesque churches in each village, it was like going back in time. Paris was well, Paris.....the mystere of it wore off this trip and it just seemed filthy....ie people don't clean up after their dogs and everyone has a dog and you can step in it about every 5 feet, disgusting.....We took the train up to Reims and I was so excited to see Maison Veuve Clicqout Champagne caves, absolutely divine. Such a wonderful little city with SO much history.....the end of WWII happened here.....makes you almost ashamed that our country is so young, oh and everything here, buildings and all are so disposable. I was thrilled to see the Eiffel Tower twinkle at night, my whole reason as to return to Paris this time, it is truly a beautiful sight! We were so, so glad to come home to our babies though and can't wait to head back to England really soon!
