A Mommy and A Wife Trying to be Myself

I have been promising myself that I will write a post about our fabulous vacation to the land of the Eiffel Tower, the La Joconde (or the Mona Lisa), and c rêpes  before I forget all the details of the trip, but life kept getting in the way. It is almost one year since our trip, and  I figured it's now or never.  I will dedicate a few posts to this trip, starting off with this one! Flashback to January of 2016 - my then-10-year-old daughter had been begging to see the Eiffel Tower, so when we were trying to decide where our big trip for the year should be, Paris was on top of the list. We knew we had about 10 days we wanted to spend on our vacation, half of which would be in Paris, but the other half was up for discussion. We decided to spend that time exploring more of France instead of visiting another European country. After much research, we honed in on the Brittany region of France as our choice. Brittany, or Bretagne in French, lies in the Northwest corner of France.
