France Pt.2: Time with family in Central France!

Allie and Nelson with family in Central France

We had a beautiful time spent with family in central France. Nelson's godmother, Mary and her husband Girard were gracious enough to open their beautiful homes in St. Etienne, just outside of Lyon, and their country home in a small town of Chateauneuf to us for a week. We also met Mami and Papi, Girard's loving parents. With a lot of translation, many bottles of wine, and more cheese and bread than we had ever eaten, we had a priceless week with them. We created memories that will truly last a lifetime! Enjoy pictures from our time living like the French! 

Switzerland: Beautiful architecture, the best chocolate, and gnomes!

If you notice Allie and Nelson wearing the same jackets and scarves in every picture its because we are! Its cold and we have limited cold weather resources!
Welcome to Switzerland! Unique architecture and amazing chocolate. We traveled through Zurich and Lucerne on this brief stop over in Switzerland. Allie was able to see her Dad for the first time in 5 months. We sampled tasty chocolates and Allie got her gnome fix (she's slightly obsessed!) Next we train it back to France where we spent an amazing week in Central France with family and had an amazing experience living like locals!
