Thursday Decision Day - Paris Explore Trip

Is it really Thursday!?

A super-long week here in Paris. But, mission accomplished! We squared away the school and even started the application process. Wahoo!

This helps us really dig into our apartment hunt since we want to be located within walking distance to the school. Now that search is officially ON like Donkey Kong!

Today we wanted to walk around our new neighborhood and get a feel for what's there. No surprise, it was filled with a lot of shops, restaurants, and markets. Just about anything we'll need, all right there. So, we're feeling like we made the right school/neighborhood decision.

Check out the pictures from the neighborhood open-air market. Just, you know, where I'll buy eggs, cheese and fish. No big deal. ;)

Macarons, Of Course! 

Fresh Veg ... With Dirt Still On

Fresh Pasta Has Leah and Alice's Name All Over It 

More Veggies.
I Wish I Took a Picture of the Raspberries and Homemade Yogurt.
There was another school in another neighborhood that we were considering all week, but after walking through it yesterday, it didn't have the "right" feel. Not sure if I can explain it better than that. Once we got here and walked around, we could easily see all four of us here. Just felt like us. Go with your gut, right?

Next, we get a few days to vacation! Be tourists! Maybe head over to the Louvre and find out how to become members ... **so I can spend my days roaming around and maybe finally see everything there and check that off my life goals list.** amiright?!

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
