After 2 weeks - we say goodbye to France

Friday 31st July and it was time to head home. Dad couldn't get to the train station fast enough, so he offered to take our bags there and wait with them so the rest of us could have our last look around (poor dad was still quite sick).



We decided to head back to the Fun Park so the girls could have another go on the trampolines. On the way they had a bit of a Marilyn Monroe experience... Leilani could not stop laughing - which meant Emily had to laugh too... it was pretty funny!






After some more jumping...





... and another car ride...


... we left the park and walked to Lafayette Shopping Centre to spend our left over money!!!!


Okay, so I don't think there actually was any left over money... but Mick bought me some French Perfume... well if it's perfume and you buy it in France doesn't that make it French Perfume???!!! I was very grateful anyway - and I smell a lot better these days!

We had some lunch there and then headed to the Gare du Nord to meet Dad.



It was sad to be leaving France, but we were all ready to go home... and one thing we knew we wouldn't miss was seeing and smelling the little puddles of 'you know what' on the footpaths!!!!


We caught the Euro Star back into London and then took the Great Western Railway to Taunton arriving around 10pm and yes, we were glad to be home!

And all this time dad was waiting at the train station?? What a funny guy. Those tramps look awesome - we have this place in Utah like that and you just go in and jump jump jump. I think more adults jump than kids..LOL
