W26 of Y2

Spring Break 2016 continued.....

I was rewarded for getting up early to forage for food with this beautiful sunrise over Monte Carlo.
Worth it!

Whitney fell in love with "Mr. Whiskers" as the neighborhood stray made his appearance this morning
We set off for our adventure of the day in 

Nice, France

Walking to the tram
Had to stop and play at this park on our search for the beach


Connor showing off! lol!!









We found the water!!!

Beautiful!  I couldn't get over the color of this water!




It was still cold but the kids couldn't resist!


Jeremy having some nice, relaxing time!

Banana splits and french fries... why not!?


Time for some real lunch!

oooohhhh... so happy!!!  Poor Connor shouldn't have eaten all those mussels though....

"What are you looking at Connor???" LOL!!

Got some Gelato in the Old Town and had to take a picture - LAVENDER ice cream???
I had never heard of such a thing.  Loved it!!

On the tram heading home

Can you see Jeremy grilling us some dinner???
Connor ended up throwing up all night! :(  We can only assume it was from the mussels....?
It was such a sad way to spend our last night in Monaco!

Whitney spent the night trying to keep "Mr. Whiskers" from running away, going in the house, and away from Jeremy.
Of course this ended in tears!

Leaving Monaco :(

Connor is laying down in the back seat, still weak from throwing up all night.  
Next stop... the capital of the Piedmont Region of Italy

Torino, Italy

Piazza Vittorio Veneto


The Royal Palace


A war hero from WWI
Mole Antonelliana - the symbol of Torino

Connor's appetite was finally better and he was craving a burger!
Jeremy found a burger joint on his phone and we went out in search of the best burger in Torino!
We found it!!  Burgheria!!

Honorable mentions from Aiden's phone:
(this is how kids entertain themselves on road trips these days)

Driving home




Look into Jeremy's eye!!


We had a great trip!  Overall we went 1234 km and total driving time was 13 hours and 59 minutes.



 
After getting back home it was all about 

baseball...




...baseball...




... and more baseball!



We were, however, able to squeeze in a sleepover too! :)
