Bastille Week!
As the French prepare to celebrate Bastille Day, and a possible Women’s World Cup victory, we wanted in on the soiree. Since we aren’t overseas we decided to take a trip around the world from right here in the Bay Area. An additional perk: we’ll avoid the internationally bad idea of an International flight with a child.
From France to Japan this weeks events will make you feel like you’ve spent a week abroad.
