Mediterranean Adventure

The girls safely arrived and we started the trip out with a day trip to Aix les Bains.  What a beautiful little town and we finally had a great meal!  Shockingly I ate a half of a plate of tomatoes and mozzarella.  It was covered in some wonderful herbs and olive oil and black olives.  Then we took a ride up the chartreuse mountains to this great fort in the sky that Madison and I had found the week before.  We got some great pictures and were all exhausted by the time we were done.

Last night we took the girls to Jon's favorite tapas restaurant and bought them their first legal drinks.  Yummy mojitos all around!  Then a shot as a special gift from the owner.  It was a great meal and great company and all the girls tried escargot!

Today we took the very long haul down through the Alpes to the Mediterranean.  We drove through some beautiful little towns along the way and stopped to pet a wild goat and check out her little kids.  We drove through Cannes & Nice and I was sadly disappointed as it did not look like what I expected.  However, thanks to Gretchen for booking us a fabulous apartment in Monaco because here it is absolutely exquisite!!  Although, we are clearly not fancy enough for this town, we are having fun anyhow!  Tomorrow we will be very touristy and take lots of photos of the yachts and lamborghini's and bently's and ferrari's for all my car loving friends!  After the long drive we parked the car for the night and took the 20 minute walk to the beach while the girls enjoyed some downtime and Madison enjoyed some swimming, Jen and I enjoyed drinks on the beach.  Very ready for a good night sleep before tomorrows adventure continues!
