Little Weekend Get-Away!


We headed to Nice this past weekend to attend a church meeting for all the members living in Southern Provence. After the meeting on Sunday we decided to explore a few places before returning home on Monday.
our little road trip
After our meeting in Nice we headed to Menton, France which is on the border of France and Italy. They were having a citrus festival!
By the time we arrived we missed the parade and other festive activities but we enjoyed walking around the town.
everything here is made out of oranges and lemons...(except for the statue :))



LOVE the mimosas


seneca loved playing with the confetti on the ground.
what a babe!
From here we decided to head West towards Monaco/Monte Carlo to Eze.

 After Eze, we started to head home. We decided to go a different way than we normally do to explore other areas of Provence. We drove through Grasse. Unfortunately, we didn't get out because Seneca was asleep.
Afterward we stopped for lunch in Draguignan. We thought we'd walk around...but we didn't.  We ate and then left again!

It was a beautiful road trip...quick, but fun! The best is this:




Enjoy!
