(July 11, 2011)
We have spent the last couple days at some of the most beautiful chateaus in the world! The day before last we went to Vaux le Vicompte at dusk for a picnic dinner. At night they put out thousands of candles that light up the whole garden, it was beautiful!!
Yesterday, we went to Versailles. However, seeing the lines stretching for what seemed like miles we immediately decided to spend the whole day in the extensive gardens and not to go into the palace itself. This ended up being a fantastic plan because the gardens were so large that it took us all day just to meander from one side of it to the other (with breaks for ice cream, lunch, puppies, statue posing and Marie Antoinette’s House).
We also rented a rowboat to paddle around the lake on the far end of the gardens. While struggling to make our boat go in a somewhat straight line, we sang songs, inserting the words “row”, “lake”, and “boat” whenever possible.
Our adventures have been so great and so
many that I can’t possibly write them all now. Plus, technically we have finals the day after tomorrow, Yikes!
Mom and Dad - thanks for answering my call today, I love you both!
Willard and Small Fri – I miss you both! I’m excited to see you in North Carolina!
Everyone else – hugs and kisses!
