A Day Trip to Amiens

After my recent Rouen trip, I decided it was time to start exploring other little towns in France. When Lillian mentioned she had been wanting to see Amiens, and I found train tickets for 10E each way, we decided to make a girls' day trip out of it. To top it off, there was a Christmas market and a light show on the cathedral while we were there.

While the Boys are Away, the Girls Will Play--In Normandy!

Nick has been in Africa (well, on a boat off the coast of Africa) for over a week and a half now, so when my friend Katie suggested a girls' trip since her hubby was out of town too, I eagerly jumped on board.  We decided on the Deauville/Trouville area of Normandy for its beaches and easy drive from Paris.

Paris has been rainy and cold recently, and the weather in Normandy wasn't much different, but we did get some sun and had a blast hanging out.  Also, how perfect are these flags we found?!?

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: In Marseille

Last week, I took a little girls trip to Marseille with my friends Val and Lillian.  Although the weather was not quite as ideal as we had hoped, we still saw some sunshine and a great time laughing and relaxing.
