Last week I went to Bogota, Colombia with my youngest son Griffin Del on my second trip to attend a medical mission with international children's charity Operation Smile.  The last time I went was more than six years ago and it was amazing.  We went to David, Panama with my husband, my oldest son Zack and my best friend Kathy Van Zeeland.  We handed out our beloved Three Little Bears teddy bears to patients and their families, and we were thrilled to do the same in Colombia.

Last week, two families from Greenwich -- the Merrill's & the De La Sierra's flew to Bogota, Colombia to attend a medical mission with Operation Smile.  They got to meet families, witness surgeries and meet some of the incredible volunteers who donate their time and expertise to Operation Smile.

Like many families, I love going home for Thanksgiving.  For me, home is San Francisco and the Bay Area.  I usually host Thanksgiving in Sonoma or Napa with family and friends. My sons, Zack and Del, both have Thanksgiving week birthdays so as an adult, Thanksgiving has become even more special. We spend the week cooking, drinking wine, playing mini golf (there is a great mini golf in Sonoma), hiking, going for long walks or running, and playing cards. Pure bliss.  

I love Paris for more reasons than I could ever communicate in one or two blogs but I am going to try to give you a window into what I love about the City of Light, and why you should consider planning a visit.  For my first blog, I am going to give you a quick overview of what I love and some ideas for planning a visit.
