Out and about with my girls

It might be rainy and a bit chilly but in the meantime I am planning my tour with the girls when the weather gets better. So, where to go? First stop is by the lake where Jet d'eau can be found. I also like to go to Bains des Paquis. The girls can play in the water, we can have a picnic but lunch is affordable there, this I have just discovered not so long ago. Yes, I know, it took me a looong while to get to know this coz I don't eat out a lot.
From there we can just walk going to the English garden and have some ice cream and watch the boats. Karen loves boat and we used to take her for a ride. It's easy to do that if hubby is with us but with two children in the pushchair, I think boat ride can wait. Further up is the Rose Garden, I'm sure Karen will love running around Parc de la Grange. I was also told about Yvoire. Why do I get the feeling that I am the only one who hasn't been there?
Anyway, for this week there's a lot of going ons here in Geneva and the surrounding areas. You might want to take your mothers for a walk in one of these places. Remember that Mother's Day is on the 9th of this month.;-)

Happy Mother's Day this weekend! Hopefully I'll get breakfast in bed and the kids can help me eat it.

Sounds like an incredible day!

(And I totally agree with you about the boat rides. It's so much fun to take the kids around that way, but when you have two kids and a pushchair you definitely need a second adult around to help!)

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

A Kulasa and being on (Swiss) time

I cannot remember being "that late" besides I am a Kulasa and being on the dot was instilled in me. Well, there were times that due to unforseen circumstances I would be 5-10 mins late but that was it. So it was during my first two years of living here that I have really learned the importance of Swiss time . That thanks to my Mama. My mother would leave me when I didn't arrive on time. I would be upset and could not fathom the idea of being left like that. So I've learned to be on the dot(again) every time I have to see her. The idea of being late and being left behind stresses me to the max esp. if it is Mama. Now that I have two gals an extra time allowance has to be given so as not to be late. Besides,the buses have their stop and schedule so there are no more excuses. All I have to do is just be on time!
