On our way to Nice, we stopped in Aix En Provence.
It was a darling town, that featured my favorite…
a french carousel — the best carousels in the world!
The town was almost closing for the night, but we were able to walk around and just be excited we are in France. I loved it all — the cobblestone streets, the fountains, and the boulangeries everywhere.
By the time we pulled into Nice, it was dark and CRAZY! The women’s World Cup is in France this year, and they had just finished a game in Nice an hour before we got there, so the town was on FIRE! It was a little crazy for us, but the next morning redeemed the city.
This is my view from my morning run.
Quiet and calm…and beautiful.
The kids were excited to go to the beach.
Although we all agree that we prefer sand over rocks!
We spent a few hours relaxing or playing. It was kind of stormy, so we really didn’t have any crowds to deal with which made it great. And of course, Navy and Scout found an entire bottle of Mediterraneansea glass — including three marbles!!!
In the afternoon, we walked the streets of Nice. It was so french with cafes everywhere, parks tucked in between buildings, and fountains in the middle of squares. The kids were getting their first taste of all things naked in Europe, and were saying that Dash was the constant model for these pieces of “art”.
Meanwhile….Micah was walking around and sending me pictures of kid shops we needed to see! You know you have a good husband, when he scouts out shops for you…AND THEN…takes the kids while you shop!
He took the boys all around, while the girls stuck with us to try things on.
In each shop, there was a kid area, so Navy made the best of her time with Pippi, while my mom and I looked around.
We all met back up for dinner, strolled the streets some more, had gelato, and made our way back to our hotel…before Nice got crazy again with another round of World Cup soccer.
