With today being Tuesday it was our normally scheduled day to take a trip to the city centre to purchase meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables for the next couple of days. We also needed to pick up some non-perishable items from the Super-U(grocery store) so we decided to drive. It was also raining lightly and since Samuel has had a slight case of the sniffles for the last few days it was also best to drive to keep him dry. Driving was not a good decision or at least leaving as early as we did not not a good decision.
We got in the car at 0931 drove to the end of the street and we turned left and we immediately greeted by taillights. The traffic was backed up along the quai so far that it almost reached our house. While we were stopped I debated turing around or trying an alternate route. Decided on the alternate route and it still took us 20 minutes to drive to the city centre. Parisians drive in the rain as well as Cincinnatians.It was so bad that an old man on crutches passed us and he arrived at the main street in town before we did.
Learned again today that Samuel is very curious. This was our first trip to the Super-U where Samuel sat in the baby seat in the cart. Big mistake. Usually when we shop Samuel is in the stroller but we had a long list of things to get today so I thought we would need the space of the cart to carry everything. Well, Samuel has a much better view and longer reach when sitting in a cart as opposed to the stroller. He also seems to have an affinity for grabbing items that are packaged in breakable packaging rather than those items in soft non-breakable packaging. Luckily nothing was broken today but I definitely learned my lesson.
