Côte d'Azur,...its a rough life.

As you can guess...I made my flight.. & spent a couple of GLORIOUS days in Cannes...
the Côte d'Azur... working my tail off.( I just like saying...Côte d'Azur... makes me feel so FRENCH...)



It has been 10 years since my last trip to the French Rivera..makes me wonder why I don't do it more often.. ahem... I could SOOOO live there..sigh...

The entire trip was FABULOUS.. even if it was spent running like a crazy girl.. I loved every min. of it.

I brought 6 pairs of shoes for three days... & still came home with my feet being a complete wreck... blisters, blisters, & more blisters....

Didn't help that I was the only girl in the gang & none of the lads understood that running through Cannes in stilettos at 2 am was probably NOT a good idea... but I sucked it up.. and ran with the big dogs...

Highlight of the trip?
Partying like a rock star on top of 1835 White Palm Hotel..    wow wow wow...  little ol' me..


The soirée was hosted by a champagne company... which meant there was Champagne & CHOCOLATE flowing the entire night...
(every girls fantasy ..no?)  added bonus... the adorable French bartenders & their fire cocktails....Lucky girl that I am with my adorable four dates.... (number 4 is taking the picture)

To say that I was sad to get on the plane was an understatement... lets hope I get to go back next year... :-)

There's nothing like a little vacation to make everything better again! Even one night away for me is restorative. But, GIRL, what I wouldn't give for a restorative trip to the French Rivera!! Glad you had such a great time :)
