I'm so excited.  I have another trip to Europe in the near future. Yay!  Lindsey has been invited to play and study with an orchestra group in Nuremberg, Germany and as most people know, I'm an over protective mom and I can't allow her to go all by herself! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  ;-) 

I've recruited a girlfriend to go along with me.  We will be arriving in Paris (watch out Paris) on the 10th of August.  We will be on a mission to exchange dollars for posh and fun European items.  That's my kind of vacation fun!  All of that shopping will require us to stop for libations and croissants regularly.  Fun!

We decided to book an apartment in Paris instead of staying in a hotel.  It will give us more space and allow us to cook our own dinner some evenings if we are just tired of the French cooking.  I don't see that happening too much, but I like the option.  The apartment is on the Isle of St. Louis which is where Paris began.  It is much quieter than the rest of Paris and has a different energy level.   A level that I will enjoy after a tough day of being a shopping tourist.  Stay tuned for more plans on the exciting trip to Paris ...oh, and Brussels, Antwerp and Brugge.  :-)
