Guess who came to visit us?! Max's sister, Anna, and her husband, Matt, came over for a week long visit. Here is a picture of both of them in Annecy. It was just about a year ago that we were in Maryland for their wedding! Where did the time go?
Besides the day trip to Annecy, we also took them on a trip down to Carcassonne, France for a couple of days. Max and I were ready for a little road trip and we still had not seen the walled Medieval city of Carcassonne. We were happy to be traveling with some company too.
We spent a day wandering through the narrow streets inside the city walls, shopping, and enjoying the weather. Luckily we started out early because the place became packed with tourists (like us) later in the day. It was a really neat place to see.
We ventured out at night to see the city walls lit up after dark. It was a very worth while excursion.
On the way back to Chambery from Carcassonne, we stopped by our favorite wine producer in the Rhone Valley for a little bit of wine tasting. We had taken my cousin and her husband there last year and we were looking forward to going back. We bought just a few bottles of wine (wink) and had some of them to celebrate the great trip we all had together. Cheers!
