Trevor finally had a day off this last weekend, so we jumped at the chance to have a mini vacation! We rented a car and drove to a few places we've been wanting to see. First up is the pont du gard, which is an old aquaduct that was built in 50 b.c. It was amazing to see, and Gabriella had tons of fun running around.
Next is the city of Carcassonne, which is an old walled city that was built in the 4th century. It was amazing!
The moat is still carved out, as you can see below. There is only one entrance to the city, through the draw bridge of course. This town was so much fun, it felt like we walked into a movie.
I think Gabriella enjoyed this town more than Trevor and I. She ran around like it was a big playground.
Next, we went to Nimes, which also was a beautiful city. We toured the arena, which is the most well preserved colosseum. Once again Gabriella loved it because she could climb up and down the stairs.
We made it home last night, and now Gabriella loves to set up the camera and take pictures of herself. She posed for a few last night with her dad!
It looks like you guys had tonz of fun. Wish we could come visit. Have a great time and eat lots of Bon Bons for me and the kiddos. Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteWhat an ADVENTURE!! How great for all of you. The pictures are fantastic. We heard once that Europe (France!) is Disneyland for adults. How true it is. : ) Gabriella is growing and so darling and cute. Fall is here, we had 4 3/4" of snow last week and more next week. Do they celebrate trick or treat in France? How is it to have an 18th month old hooked on French bon bons? : ) Has she learned any more French words?
