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 :)

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
