pain...mon amour

Thanksgiving done, it was time for a getaway. We grabbed the train to visit the Rizzo family, and finally meet their little 2 year old man, Matteo. After a nice ride, we arrived in their little town of Vanves, on the edge of Paris. It reminded us a lot of Pecetto. A quaint little village with easy access to the big city. The kids played happily together, the adults relaxed, and every night was a treat. Our kids slept across the street and via baby monitors we ate ethnic takeout every night. Gio made sure we got our carbo load each morning with fresh baguettes, croissant and other pastries loaded with butter. We strolled the Champs Elysees Christmas market, saw a few pretty window displays and enjoyed the late afternoon light at the playground under the Eiffel Tower. 
Parfait!

on our way! 5.5 hours to go...

watching "how to train your dragon"... very serious stuff.
