Hanging out in Vigevano

The cold and rainy weather prevented us from playing outside everyday, so we had to make do with our tiny apartment living room.

Jacob's favorite hiding place.


Alex's high school friend Max came into town for a quick visit with his family.

France & Monaco

Alex had the weekend off, so we took a quick trip down to France. We booked a hotel in an old medieval village called Eze.

The hotel is inaccessible by car so they use these two donkeys to carry the guests' bags. It was drizzling when we arrived, so no donkeys for us.

The Mediterranean Sea, somewhere between Nice and Monaco.


We were able to fit in a quick visit with Alex's uncle Miche so that Jacob could meet his great-uncle for the first time.


On our way home, we made a quick stop in Monte Carlo.

Jacob was totally fascinated by the waterfall in front of the casino. The cars, shops, yachts...not so much.
