Happy 40th Anniversary!
Cora & Rob came over for a playdate. After they left, Stella posed with all of the toys Cora took out of her toy chest. Those two always have so much fun.
In the evening it was time to celebrate Vilma & Carl's 40th anniversary.
The food was fab & very photogenic!

Day 9 ... CDG-ATL-JAX
After checkout, I hung out in the lobby before heading to the airport.
CDG ... flight delayed then all flights suspended by weather.
Luckily, we finally took off.
While I was sitting in the lobby, I noticed their amazing curtains were changing colors. They're made of woven optical fibers that continually migrate through a million colors. Propelled by LED battery tubes, these are the first ones of their kind in the world.
Luckily, we finally took off.
This picture is worth a thousand words! Stella had a BLAST while I was away! Thank you Pet Paradise JIA!!!

Day 8 ... My Old Stomping Grounds ... Paris
Our last breakfast at the chateau. I'm gonna miss this!
Since I was going to be in Paris for one night, I was looking forward to seeing my old friends & staying at Hotel Passy Home, a small family owned & operated hotel I stayed in for the 15 years I covered Roland Garros. Unfortunately, it was sold about 3 years ago. Now it's a small, amazing high-end boutique hotel called Hotel Félicien (this link is a great article). Here's a link to their Facebook page & their website.
Famous French clothing designer Olivier Lapidus, has used his exceptional talent to create this exquisite contemporary hotel. The design & attention to detail is like nothing I've ever seen. Simply awesome!
The LED closet rod lit up every time the door opens.

The breakfast room.
I want this espresso machine!
Each floor has a theme. I was on the couture floor (4th). Every room in the hotel has it's own unique design. No two rooms are alike. Check out the photo gallery on their website. The images are awesome!
Mini bar snacks.

I spent the afternoon walking around Paris, shooting iPhone pix.

Day 7 ... Les Baux de Provence Day Trip & Happy 50th Anniversary
A few family pix after breakfast.
We spent the day in Les Baux de Provence. The Carrieres de Lumieres laser light show was really cool.
Back to the villa for some sun & fun.
Dance party
Ping pong it the garden.
