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!
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!!
Over the last few years, I started helping out AWCA with any design needs and this year, I officially joined the gala committee. I am so proud and honored to be a part of such an amazing organization and so blown away by the works they do in this community.
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.
