Paris!

 Robby and Scott are off on their epic adventure. On Friday afternoon I drove them both to the airport, kissed them goodbye and watched them walk into the terminal towards their plane to France. They were simultaneously giddy and nervous about their trip. 

After I dropped them off, Timmy and I continued to drive into Philadelphia. We met my niece and my sister at a hotel in the city. Timmy was over-the-moon to have a hotel adventure of his own. We spent the evening walking through Chinatown and getting something to eat. After a long day of prepping, packing and driving, we all ended up going to bed early.

On Saturday we surprised Hamlet with a trip to the Van Gogh Immersive Experience. (Timmy loves Starry Night so I knew that this adventure was perfect for him.) He had a lot of fun exploring the exhibits and creating his own Starry Night masterpiece. We returned to my Mom's house on Saturday evening, happy but tired. On Sunday we took Friend to the local dog park. It was fun watching our little pup run and play with new canine buddies.  

Today Robby and Scott will step onto the beaches of Normandy France. When I think about Robby walking on the beach I get chills. This has been his dream for many years, and I become emotional when I imagine it coming true. I know that they are going to have an amazing time!

While they are stepping back into history, Timmy and I are heading back to reality. We are going to pack up and head back to Virginia for the rest of the week. I have a lot of work to do so I don't think my week will be nearly as exciting as Robby's. Of course, I do have a few surprises planned to keep Timmy both happy and entertained during the week.  Stay tuned!
