... After they played Pokemon for quite awhile, I had them stop and start packing. I had started my packing last night. I didn't want to leave everything to the last minute. For dinner, we had one of the kids' favorite: gnocchi with tomato sauce and bread. The plan for tomorrow is to go to Laduree to get some of that delicious violet tea.
