We had amazing 5 course dinner with wine to celebrate our first night! Even though it was supposed to be 5 course dinner, with chef’s special pre-starters and in-between palate cleanser, bread variety, and complimentary desserts, we felt like we had about 8 or 9 plates of food. Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours and it was so intimate and special to share it with my girl.
Our room was finally ready at 3pm so we came back to our hotel, organized our belongings, and freshened up to get ready to go to a dinner. We have amazing views from our three terraces and couldn’t miss the opportunity to do a little photoshoot before heading out again!
After the visit to the museum, we walked around Saint-Germain-des-Prés and visited some pretty boutiques.
When we got to our hotel, our suite was not ready so we set out to go have brunch @ Cafe Angelina first which was so delicious! It would’ve been nice to freshen up after the long flight before venturing out to the streets of Paris but oh well, too bad we couldn’t. I’m so thankful Chloe’s such an easy going traveller and she was game for anything! We finally felt so much better after much needed latte and putting delicious food in our stomach! As we were walking out, we saw a long line for the restaurant and realized we got so lucky and beat the crowd.
Chloe and I are taking a mother daughter trip to celebrate Chloe’s pre-16th birthday! We took a red eye last night and seven hours later, Voila~!! We are in Paris!!
It was great to be back here!! So many amazing memories…
Of course, we can’t not have Nam Chows when we are here! We had to drive back home today so didn’t have time to stop at RISD which is super sad but maybe we’ll be back here again and I would have many opportunities? Who knows! 😉
All in all, this was a great road trip, getting kids excited and motivated for thinking about colleges! So glad we got to do this, this summer.
We mostly had to do take out foods during this trip because of having hard time finding restaurants that are pet friendly. Plus, it’s too hot to eat outdoor dinning.
We might as well look at Harvard while we are here for some inspiration.;)
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
