It started off with a bit of a scare though as Friday morning S tweaked a muscle in her neck and was in quite a bit of pain. J and R (our awesome nanny) took S to the pediatrician, whose office is across the courtyard in the same apartment area, for a quick appointment. She checked S out and confirmed it was just a muscle issue and ordered some rest. By the time I got home from work on Friday, S was feeling much better and just relaxed Friday night. By Saturday morning, all was good!
Saturday afternoon was quite sunny (and windy) so we decided to go to the lake. Because of the wind, the fountain was off but it was still a nice day. We decided to take the Tourist Train for the first time and all enjoyed it. S chose the very front seat. After the 30 minute train ride, S rode the carousel and enjoyed some ice cream before going back to the apartment.
On Sunday, J wanted to get another day of skiing in and I thought it would be fun for S and me to spend the day in the mountains. We left sunny Geneva for Chamonix and the clouds were awful so we made a quick decision to keep going and went into Italy - what a difference the drive through the Mont Blanc tunnel made! It was gorgeous in Courmayeur! This was our second time to Courmayeur and it was beautiful.
We found a small restaurant for lunch and then enjoyed some gelato. After our dessert, we decided to enjoy the small town square and color. S quickly spotted a few boys, probably about 6-7 years old, playing soccer and quickly ran over to them. They were so nice and were teaching her how to kick the ball and kept having her score the goals. She was giggling and running around - it was so fun to watch!
There was a memorial at the Mont Blanc Tunnel for the awful accident from 1999 that had traffic backed up - annoying but S was sound asleep and the scenery wasn't so bad.
Once back to Geneva, I headed out for my run to France and back (without S this time) and J and S enjoyed some time at the park.
Off to Munich next weekend!
I love your blog posts. I love to hear of your adventures. I was wondering, which language is S speaking...She is getting to experience so much at an early age. I think it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy! S is speaking English mostly with some French here and there. She has one activity in French and she understands a decent amount from exposure out and about.
