Family Visit

Last week I had a wonderful time during my spring break when some of my family flew out to visit me!  We had a whirlwind trip seeing Nice, Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, les Baux-de-Provence, and definitely lots of Aix-en-Provence!

Here are some pictures from our adventures:

First up is les Baux-de-Provence.  I absolutely loved this medieval city with a castle at the top.  It was fun to explore around the ruins.

Here I am with some of the artwork there!

 This is the castle.

...and the view from the top.  Pretty neat huh?  You can see a lot of the grape vines.

Next, here's my Dad and I spending some time in sunny nice.  It was beautiful!

 Soaking up some sun on the road to Monaco!

 Monte Carlo was all about the fancy cars.  We just happened to arrive on the day of a car show.

 Here are my grandma and I back in Nice.  We found some beautiful mosaics while wondering around at the top of a lookout.  Grandma, you're awesome!

 A stop in Antibes for lunch.  Lots of fancy yachts... and it was interesting to see snow-capped mountains beyond the yachts gleaming in the sun.

 My aunt and I had to take advantage of the red carpet in Cannes!

 This was at Santons Fouque... a specialty of Aix.  Isn't this guy neat?

 Chilling in Cassis!

 Loving the boats, the city, the sun!
