Go have an adventure

by HML

We have a lot of catching up to do, and we’ll try our best to get to it all while Thing One is away on his latest adventure:  a Spring Break trip in Paris with the school’s French classes and French club.  This is Thing One’s third year studying French and it has always been one of his favorite subjects.

The tour lasts nine days, divided between guided tours and independent sightseeing in Paris, and guided excursions outside of the city to places like Giverny, Chartres, Versailles, and the châteaux of the Loire Valley.

The rest of Team Gimlet is trying not to be too nervous about sending Thing One halfway across the world.  We keep reminding ourselves that he did quite well on his own last summer.  We hope he will take lots of pictures and have many stories to tell when he returns!  Meanwhile, watch for new posts about Thing One’s Court of Honor, the family reunion, and anything else we’ve missed.

    OK, I still haven’t figured out how to do the foreign characters yet. Like the Finding Nemo reference here. And, yes, we are all wishing we were with Thing One for the next 9 or 10 days.

    Did it work yet? Did it work yet? Good grief this is more complicated than opening a sardine can!

    Okay, fixed your name and your G-rated gravatar should now show up, too. You may be friendly and you may be family, but your original gravatar was apparently not family friendly. ;-)
