Adrenaline Junkie

Saturday night after a long day spent taking hundreds of photos to document our trip in Monaco we headed Northwest to Avignon to spend the night with family.  Jon took the train down to meet us and we spent a fantastic night with Sev and Nicolas, Anaelle & Theo.  What a beautiful home and the most gracious hosts.  We sat around the table all evening talking and laughing and eating and eating and eating and eating!  I tried duck and it was good, not as good as the sausage but it was good.  Then a French breakfast in the morning and an outing to Isle sur la sorgue for some market shopping and wandering around.  Then a short trip to Fontaine de Vaucluse for a hike in the heat to  a fantastic cave of water and a great lunch.  Such an amazing weekend!

Monday we decided on a shopping day in downtown Grenoble and found some good deals and worked up a good sweat.

Today being Jenny's last day in France we decided GO BIG OR GO HOME!  We made the morning trip up the mountain where Lindsay, Hayley and I took our chances running off the cliff for an AMAZING time paragliding.  What a stunning ride!!!  With that one checked off the bucket list we headed off to a day in Annecy where Jenny and I did some shopping and the girls took a boat out on the lake for some swimming and boating fun.

Tomorrow I am sad to take Jenny to Geneva for her flight home.  It has been so much fun having her!
