Cafe Forant
Last week, my three year old neighbor I met up with an old friend from high school and her three year old daughter. We happened upon this very cute little cafe. Long story short...the proprietors were extraordinarily nice.
I was surprised to find they has not just crayons, but HOME MADE play dough! And toys! Maybe this is common in the traveling-with-three-year-old world, but I had not seen this kind of hospitality since I was at my aunt's house. Even more surprising was that they had organic food and the menu was not over priced. I highly recommend this place:

Although I am still not sure what Forant means. (Is that French?)
