Don't get me wrong, I am so excited to see my wonderful children, squeeze and kiss them to death, but then it is the after part that I am thinking about. I am commited to spending more days on adventures like we did on this trip...exploring Portland and finding fun places to see/visit. I feel like we definitely get in a rut and just go and do the items on the schedule for the day. I am ready for more spontinaity in our lives, so I am actually looking forward to working on that.
Regardless, my highlights from the trip:
- staying right across the street from the Tulleries Park in Paris
- having an ice cream cone in the square in Cambrai
- finding a really cool authentic butcher shop in Cambrai
- ALL of the Champagne trip
- seeing long-time friends
- having some down time
- spending 13 days in Europe with my wonderfully loving and doting husband and seeing what he does when he "works" in other countries
- trying to speak French but then pretty much resorting to "par le angleis?" ("do you speak English")- totally not how you spell that by the way
- having Jane's birthday party in the bar of our hotel tonight...complete with "Happy Birthday" balloons!
So cheers to a renewed spirit and here is hoping that it carries me through the weekend which might be tough with the jetlag :)
