Experiences

We meet the nicest people when we travel. We were recently in Sun Valley, Idaho and we started talking to a couple that had a large motorhome for sale. Cynthia and Des are from Australia and they own a motorhome that they keep in the US. Th…

When someone told us there is a lake on the Utah/Idaho border that looks like the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, we knew we had to see it! Apparently the turquoise color is due to the limestone deposits suspended in the lake. I will tel…

Yesterday, we talked about Cub Creek Road in Dinosaur National Monument . And the other day, we talked about the Quarry Exhibit Hall . Today we are talking about the Colorado side of Dinosaur National…

Chris mentioned to me that he really wanted to see Dinosaur National Monument. I read mixed reviews saying the complete dinosaur skeletons in major museums are better. Since we’ve seen a lot of museums in DC, New York, Chicago and Orlando w…

We really do meet the neatest people in our travels. Here in Breckenridge, Colorado, our neighbor Joanne is an author! She let us borrow a copy of her children's book, Peter the Caterpillar. Chris and…

One thing I love about Colorado is that so many people have so many outdoor hobbies. It has been an unusually cold and wet May (now June!) and people are still skiing! I love seeing the skis and snowb…

It's great to meet new people and it's even better to meet amazing people. Recently we made some new friends, Becky and Sharon, and in our conversation we learned that they were competitive archers! I have recently gained an interest in arc…

We were looking for a place to stay in or near Amsterdam. We also wanted to visit The Hague and Rotterdam. We ended up finding the perfect place in Gouda! We didn't know anything about Gouda except that it had a cheese market with, of cours…

James was due for a spa day while we were in France. We made an appointment at Lady's Dog in Antibes, France. The owners/groomers have a sweet Afghan Hound puppy named Lady. While James was being groomed, we walked around Antibes. The best …

If there is a park or an open space in France, people are playing Bocce there! It is a SERIOUS sport here and the players are really, really good!

We headed to the South of France for some sunshine and warmer weather. But the forecast predicted snow! The locals say it NEVER snows here.

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…

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 Fair…

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 the…

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 Professe…

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 wate…

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…

We decided to walk all the way up the mountain along the Escalier de Campo Quadro in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France.
