Gleanings & Best ofs 
from Paris (& the Loire) 
Week 2

10. When in France in early July, it will rain.

9. Monte's Law of Vacation:  When looking for the simplest thing to find on a road trip, you won't find it.  When you don't need it, you will.

8. Hot dogs on a baguette always taste better.

7. Elodie, "It's time for booty bottom shaking after lunch!"

6. Freeze Tag & the Birthday Game are always more fun when played in an empty 500 year old castle. [video]

5. Best deal for kids in Ile-de-France, 1,50 euros for all-day play at the Playmobil Funpark in Fresnes.

4. Kristy, "I forgot how difficult it was coming to France like this 2 years ago.  Now I remember."

3. Sophie in the car, "You make me car-sick, sea-sick, plane sick, home-sick & life-sick."  Family Vacations: PRICELESS.

2. Elodie on Sleeping Beauty-inspiring castle Uzze, "Sleeping Beauty doesn't live here anymore.  She's dead."

1.  "NO!  It's not for that.  It's a sink for little kids!!!" - Elodie on the bidet in our hotel room. (She must have washed her hands more than night than she has in the past month.)





Here's some more photos of the week's adventures and hand-washing.

OH Monte, Monte, Monte. I laughed so hard at that picture of Elodie I cried. THAT is priceless.
