After we returned home and dried off, Auntie Em stayed for an afternoon of gossip mags and relaxing. No one left the apartment until dinnertime, when Emily, Vann, and Charlie scouted out a true Parisian-style dinner in honor of Mimi and Poppy’s trip to France. Did I mention they left on Thursday for a MONTH?? Too bad they didn’t stay here with Charlie and let us go, ha! 😉

Oh my, dinner was AMAZING. A stop at Provenance, this quaint little wine/cheese shop right in our ‘hood produced such delicious munchies as crusty bread, grapes, goat cheese, black forest ham, the most amazing bucheron cheese (another type of goat cheese) you’ve ever put in your mouth, olives dipped in herbs, and finally, some chocolate gelato. We decided that even if we couldn’t fly to France (or Italy for that matter), we’d bring it to us. I forsee a Parisian dinner in our home once a week, it was that good!!

Thank you, Auntie Em, for spending the day with us, we love you!! And Congrats, Daddy, for your awesome accomplishment!! We are so proud of you!!
