☺️ My dad came to France in 1997 while I was living there. It was the best time we had together as we traveled to Brittany too. As a historian and former army green beret, seeing the landing sites and other historical sites was a highlight of his life as he had never been to Europe yet. We missed the last train back to Paris from Caen and had to sleep in the hotel de la gare above the local bar. The straw mattress we shared hadn’t been replaced since the war apparently. Good, fun times. We recalled that trip often with amusement. Sigh. I miss you dad. Jay, savor every visit.
Dad: “I take credit for being the original birthday producer.” 😂 Priceless! Happy Birthday, Jay. I’m glad you had a good one with your pop. I didn’t know you know Anne Ditmeyer! She’s one of my Paris buddies, too. 🙂 Nice to see a glimpse of Lindsey as well. Enjoy the precious time with your dad! ✌🏼
Hey Tiffany what's going on with you & Jay Swanson in Nice, is this a new secret 🤐 romance. Jay looks 👀 upset about not meeting up on his RU-vid channel as well 🥰❤️👍😍 as he came to Nice to be with you 💔.
HAPPY Birthday, Jay!! Your father is adorable and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!!! Love the St. Sulpice fountain mug and pillow!!! Beautiful....I actually spent my birthday at St. Sulpice for Mass and it was SO memorable!! Thanks for sharing!! 🇫🇷🥖🗼❤️ Greetings from the U.S.!!
This is now happiness is spread! What a fabulous feeling watching this video with your dad and friends and you having such a lovely time! Happy birthday! 🥳🎂🥐☕️🍫🌮😎😊🌞Happiness!
It's lovely to see how happy you are with your Dad around. We know you're going to enjoy every minute with him. The tour of the unintentionally hidden tower was cool. Thanks!
I am happy that you Dad is able to visit you in Paris and France. As everybody said your dad looks very young. Happy Belated birthday and continued success and safe travels to you. Keep inspiring!!!!
So cute to watch you and your dad interact. He's really fit and young at heart...I don't know how I'd fare with all those stairs. Happy birthday Jay! Stay forever 12 🥳
A very happy birthday to you! It’s a bit too warm in Gensac for baking, but I’ll try to get some brownies in the post soon. Enjoy your time with your day. It seems you are having an excellent time together.
It's fun to be twelve. I'm stealing that phrase, it will be well used and often. Tour Jean Sans Peur, I had no idea. What a great birthday with your dad appropriately claiming credit for you, lol. Many blessings to you sir. Thanks Jay for the very enjoyable video. Cheers! 😎
We leave for France tomorrow, so I decided to "get in the mood." This video was perfect for that. We happen to have a Parisienne as a house guest and she gave us some additional points of interest near the Tour, so ...even better. Happy belated birthday!
Oh I'm soooooo happy your dad could visit you in France!!! My mom says she won't be coming to visit me in France until next spring even though she could legally technically come now. I miss my mom
Aw! Nils, Jay, Mate, Jane, Missy... Quality people! So fun to see you with your dad. How has it been 7+ years since our Comms Team was together?! Happy birthday, Jay!
Happy Birthday, Jay! Glad your dad made it to celebrate with you and that you both had a great time. He looks very young!! Thank you for all the history taught in your video, very interesting. We’ll visit when we come back to Paris.🥰🥰🇫🇷
Thank you so much for sharing this , Jay. I never heard of the Tour Jean San Peur, I will definitely check it out with the family next time we're in Paris.
Wishing you a VERY happy (belated) birthday!! Always love seeing Dad!! He's a hoot!! Great job modeling the swag! Speaking of swag, great stuff! I'll definately get a mug, and a pillow for the daybed in my office. (Every time you mention your "secret project", it reminds me of Paul giving you a rash of merde about "stringing people along" ... "Shut up about it and just do it!!". 🤣😂🤣😂 Again HBD. Enjoy the family time!!🥳🎉🎉🥳🎉🎊
Hope you had a wonderful birthday Jay! 🥂 Thanks for all the great content you always share with us. Looking forward to buying your Paris guide and using it in October when we’re there!
Hey Jay, have you been to Chateau De Vincennes? Straight down line 1 of the metro almost last stop. It’s still the office of the french war veterans, you get history and war museum at the same time, really cool place.
Loved so many things about this building. It's so clean and well cared for! And always good to know where us plebs should go. :) What about the fabulous Escher-like angle of that tower's ribbing? Thanks for this fab video. And congrats on your bday (and being born)!!
Great video! You and your Dad looked like you had a great time hanging out! Thank you for the invaluable information about converting the CDC card to the Pass Sanitaire. We're visiting Paris soon and this information is priceless to us.
The Santa Yeti is also a Christmas tradition in New Orleans. Saint Nicholas/Santa Claus brings gifts for the good children & Santa Yeti is his evil counterpart who comes for the bad children.
