June started out with a trip to a nearby chateau called Vaux le Vicomte. The creator of this castle, Nicolas Fouquet was wrongfully imprisoned for life for a crime he did not commit. It's an interesting and sad story.

My sister Blair and her god daughter Autumn visited Paris and Fontainebleau for their first "girl's trip" to France. Here are some pics of us at the Fontainebleau chateau and around town: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nharlow/sets/72157621903032832/
The guy dressed as a girl is getting married so his friends dressed him up for the bachelor party!
I decided that it was time for me to take a trip home for a couple of weeks. It was so wonderful to be back in California and see my friends, go to my favorite beaches, eat mexican food, and go to Big Sur and SF. What an amazing 2 weeks, thanks to all of you who spent time with me and made it so special!

And finally, we spent my birthday weekend in Paris (June 27-28). Paris Gay Pride parade was on Saturday. It was fantastic!!! Then we met friends for drinks in the Marais. We had my birthday dinner at Cafe Marly at the Louvre with beautiful views of the tower and the pyramid.
Sunday we went to brunch and then to see an old friend, Kristen Laakso from Kwajalein who has been living in Paris for 12 yeas. It was amazing to see her. Nick planned the entire weekend and it was perfect! It was a birthday I will never forget.
