French Alps

The head PwC partner in the region invited us to his Alpine chalet for a few days over Christmas vacation. We were a little uneasy in the days leading up to the trip, not sure how Daniel's job would be affected should the kids not behave well, but the trip more than exceeded our best expectations. We all had an wonderful time and Daniel was able to live his dream of snowboarding in the Alps. The Alpine village of Montgenevre

New Year's Day Trip to La Ciotat

On new year's morning we woke up a little groggy after the late night and decided to drive 30 minutes to the nearby town of La Ciotat via a mountain road with a crazy cliff and amazing views. Jaxon was a little tired but loved it.
