The French Riveria

This was our last stop on the cruise, the view as we came into port was amazing. The huge mansions, large hotels and beautiful mountains (or hills) were beautiful. We got off the boat in Villefranche, which is in between Nice, France and Monaco. We decided to take the train to Monaco with two other couples that we had met from Oregon. We almost didn't get off at the right stop, the signage wasn't the greatest. We walked down one of the most famous shopping streets in Monaco to get to the docks and were amazed at the large yahts in the marina. Jason almost drove a Lamborghini, but we decided we needed to get back so we wouldn't miss the train so he passed it up.

In Monaco





When we got back to Villefranche we stopped at a sidewalk cafe for lunch, I had a yummy lobster salad. This is the two couples we did a lot of stuff with, they are from Oregon. Chris, middle on the right, is our regional sales rep and we have been friends for over 10 years.



This is our cruise ship, it was huge!!!!

Looks like you had a fabulous trip. I'm sure it won't compare to going to St. George, but a great way to warm up!

Oh my, what a beautiful trip. I just looked through all the pictures and it looks amazing. I'm sl glad you had an incredible time...other than the lost luggage. What a memory you'll never forget!

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for letting us crash while you were gone. We had so much fun with the kids and laughed and hugged and Kyle even cuddled with me. I love it when I get to be with them for more than a few hours, it gives me a chance to re-bond. We are back to school...ugh. But at least we aren't bored. Glad you got home safe.
love you guys.
