How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

We Will Always Have Paris

in Travel on 06/08/11

I have been struggling with just how to put into words all that was my trip to Paris.

It was walking hand in hand down century old streets until our feet hurt.

It was hot chocolate for breakfast and chocolates for dinner.

It was laughing until our faces ached, talking until we found that quiet comfortable place, and then practicing our French as only two in love can. It was re-discovering life as a couple. Being quiet, being inspired, being awed. It was falling in love all over again.

Paris was more then I could have ever dreamed of.

Paris was Shopping, the Louvre, the Mona Lisa, Versailles, Boat Cruises of the Seine.

It was a Romantic Birthday Lunch at the top of the Eiffel Tower that I will never ever forget.

I carefully documented all my days in Paris in a diary. That is where those private and intimate thoughts will stay.

For now, a few pictures and a dream, that one day we will return and live the vacation of a lifetime all over again.

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
