2 Castles in 3 Days


Claire waiting to enter the Fortress of Mornas



We really do "work" sometimes, but it is so much more fun to show you what we do in our "spare time". (Life does seem to run together sometimes. Sometimes work is fun, sometimes having fun is just exhausting...)



Last Friday, we went to Chateau d'If (the famous, real castle/prison from the fictional, made-up story "The Count of Monte Cristo). We had a great time!



Then, on Sunday, in order to celebrate Tiffany and Mentanna's birthday, we went to the Fortress of Mornas. It is about 1,000 years old!



Here are some pics from our Medieval Weekend:

Great pictures! What wonderful memories Claire will have of growing up and going to castles! I love how blue the skies seem to be in France.
