mom and gi
Mom and Gi arrived friday evening and Jess and I took them to a pizza place for dinner. The next morning we walked through all the markets and bought some brioche glace(like doughnuts) at one of my favorite bakeries! Then the three of us hoped a train to Monaco!! The weather was great and we made it to Palm Sunday Mass at the Cathedral where Princess Grace Kelly's tomb is. Then we walked in all of the gardens that line the cliffs to the sea. There were seagulls everywhere. I got my picture taken in front of a yellow submarine(Beetles) in front of the musuem of oceanography. Then went to Marseilles. Chateau D'If was unfortunately closed on Monday, so we couldn't see that. But we went back to Aix and went to a la cave where they have some of the best selections of wine from the area and the world. Gi and I both bought a bottle of local wine. Tried walking back into town, but we walked about an hour and we're not even close, so caught the bus. They went to their hotel because they had a 5:30am flight. It was a wonderful weekend and we were lucky because the weather warmed up just in time!!!

I will treasure forever the opportunity I had to travel with my sister Barb across the ocean to come and see my Godchild Gail! It all seems like a dream now!
