Sandra decided she wanted to drive while in Germany. The problem was, Sandra hadn’t driven a manual transmission car in over 20 years! How did she do? Sandra was obviously discombobulated while trying to sing Rodney Atkins, so here is the full song for you to enjoy:
It was a quick and easy train ride to Monaco from Villefranche-sur-Mer so we made a day trip out of it. Monaco has one of the most beautiful, modern train stations: The Monaco Opera House: The slowest corner in Formula One – the famous Fairmont Hairpin turn: We did a little shopping and James was…
I recently ran out of toothpaste while here in France. There is a little organic shop downstairs so I decided to try something new and unusual. I found Citron (lemon) flavored toothpaste! It is bio (which is the word used for Organic in Europe) and it is made by a company called Argiletz. It actually…
If you have followed our blog for some time, you know that I am a huge fan of Paula’s Choice beauty products. When we left for Europe, I had a few of my essentials from Paula’s Choice and I knew I could always order more if needed. One thing I recently started to run low…
We posted a few photos the other day from the Combat Naval Fleuri in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France but today we wanted to show you our video!
Join us as we walk around Villefranche and we stop at the Plage de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France.
The Plage des Marinières is right by the train station in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France. When we arrived by train, we saw people playing on the beach with their kids and dogs. I was excited that the beach was dog friendly! We walked over there one day and the beach was empty. We saw a sign that…
The sun is out and we are finally getting a taste of Spring weather! We decided to head down to the Plage de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France. This is a small, hidden beach. It is behind the port and below the Promenade des Professeurs. The entire beach is pebbles, not sand. The water is…
James is always in bed before us. I like going in and having a few cuddles with him and giving him a pre-sleep Poodle massage!
It is official. Chris has found his FAVORITE cheese in the entire World. I was looking at cream cheese at the grocery store the other day and they had the usual Philadelphia. But right next to the Philadelphia was Paysan Breton Le Fromage Fouetté Madame Loïk. I love trying new things, so I decided to…
I love that the Casino grocery store here in France (yes, the grocery chain name is called Casino and no, you don’t gamble there) has these little glass yogurts. I decided to wash and keep a few of them to take back to the US as cute little bud vases. When we were in London…
We walked over to Cap Ferrat one day with James. We didn’t spot any celebrities (we were told Bono and Bill Gates have homes here) but we did enjoy the many lush plant-covered pedestrian paths. We stopped and took some photos along the water with James:
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a small town in France with big surprises! The water is so clear and beautiful and the train station is right on the water! It is a short walk through town and the heart of town is almost all pedestrian-only. We were there during the Combat Naval Fleuri – a part of the…
We decided to walk all the way up the mountain along the Escalier de Campo Quadro in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France.
We visited the Fragonard Perfume Factory in Èze, France. Get a little peek at the tour!
Today is another archive post – I found this video on my hard drive and I wanted to share it. This was the end of summer 2017. This is the reality of moving! Stuff everywhere and our cute decorations are coming off the wall. Chris came up with this idea in Toronto years ago when…
We are loving Nice, France! I love the shopping and the Promenade du Paillon is such an amazing park! There are tons of kids and dogs running around. We also walked down to the Promenade des Anglais along the Mediterranean. My favorite store in France? Picard! I will do an entire post on Picard soon….
Remember yesterday I said we got stuck without candy on Halloween? Well our cute little trick-or-treater playfully toilet-papered our doorstep! I thought it was so cute and funny!
One thing we weren’t prepared for in Europe was holidays. Holidays where everything is closed. Today is Halloween. In Georgetown, we were prepared with LOTS of candy. But here in Europe we didn’t think Halloween was really celebrated like it is in the US. Last year, we were in Austria. I remember walking along Mariahilfer…
Montrose Park is our favorite park in Washington, DC. We can easily walk to it from our house in Georgetown. James loves playing fetch in the big field and we love walking down to Rock Creek.
