A Swiss Swoosh

The Valere Basilica in Sion

We spent one full day in Switzerland and would have liked to have spent more but the budget could not support it.

Climb Every Mountain

Behold the Alps: clean crisp air, majestic mountains, and the sounds of music echoing across the valleys.

The Long and Winding Road

There are two things that one should always do when traveling. The first is to stop and smell the roses. The second is to stop and read the road signs (especially if they provide important information).

From the Med to the Peaks

Enough of the history and culture of France, already. The kids need a break on the beach. What better place to go than the Mediterranean coast, a town just outside of Cannes to be exact. Images of opulence and movie stars were dancing in our heads as we rolled into La Napoule. Instead, we found ourselves on a small beach, the seaside equivalent of a Parisian park, tucked in between a marina and a castle. It mattered not, it was the swim that counted.

Testing the waters.
