Brittany, Normandy, and Paris
August 9th, 2009 by DawnOk, so it’s been three months since we promised you this blog entry. We’ve been busy enjoying one of the sunniest summers we’ve seen in Seattle in a long time, and somehow time has slipped away faster than we expected. But we’ve finally got all of the photos from our trip to France together with the travelogue of our adventures.

What an amazing trip! Those photos are incredible, and I loved reading your journal. I’ve never been to France, and I hope to go someday. It will be different the next time you go, avec bébé, and wonderful in an entirely new way.

Eric and Dawn, I truly applaud your dedication and commitment to great food experiences and especially French sweets. Reading your beautiful blog (and looking at the gorgeous pictures), it makes Eric V and I return back to Paris VERY soon. I am convinced that it is the perfect place to go with our new baby. We are already dreaming of enjoying the sweet treats with baby Vong at Luxembourg Gardens.
