Bon Jour!

Hello! We'll we've been back from our European adventure for a few weeks now, but haven't sat still long enough to blog about it. Also doesn't help that we got to Paris to find our camera wasn't working. So forgive the cellphone quality photos.

We met up with my friend R and her family outside of Paris. They live in a fabulous, old farmhouse. We spent many hours on their patio eating and drinking to our heart's content. Nick and Peri loved playing with Noah. After two nights there we headed into Paris to spend the days walking around and eating. Yummmm. We met up with a familiar face while walking to the Louvre one day. If Nick's segment airs, he'll be on the Late, Late Show the first week in August.


An overnight train then took us to Florence, Italy. Muy bueno! (that might be Spanish). The overnight train was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Or was it the gelato? We walked around all day and then took a taxi to meet the rest of our clan at the villa Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop had rented for everyone. After a very curvy ride up a mountain we found ourselves in a fabulous villa overlooking Florence and the countryside. Bellisimo! The first night was a fabulous reunion with lots of Chianti and laughter.
