We had a wonderful weekend trip to Chamonix
avec mes parents.
The weather was gorgeous, sunny & warm during the day.
It made it hard to believe we were up in the mountains
& that it is mid-October.
That being said, we could see
the beginning of the beautiful autumn colours in the woods
& the stunning Mont Blanc glacier shining in the sun.
It was wow, wow & wow.
So without further ado, here are the photos I promised you.
Take it away, Chamonix!

 |
| speaking of fromage, my mom & I shared a fondue Saturday night... YUM |
 |
| winter's already here in the shop window displays |
 |
| this ad made me laugh... "prêt à..." = ready to... |
 |
| as I mentioned above, forest + mountains + glacier + sun = WOW |
 |
| at tea-time, I treated myself to a pistachio macaron |

| Sunday before leaving town, we hit the MBC, a Canadian-founded microbrewery |

So as I write this post,
my parents are on the plane back to Vancouver.
I'm feeling sad & missing them already.
I have beaucoup de photos of their time en France
to share with you soon.
In the meantime, I'm headed to aquafit class at my gym
to hopefully burn off at least a few
of the fondue/macaron/brewpub calories from this past weekend...
Bon lundi tout le monde !
Mmmmm, you know how I love a fondue!
ReplyDeleteBut did you know I have never, not once, had a macaron? I think that situation needs to be dealt with, stat.
These photos are lovely. Chamonix looks beautiful. And the "pret à kick ass"? Awesome. That should be your new motto!
Love you loads.
