Blissful Weekend

I went back to my friend's parents house in Lyon, France. Remember this place? Yea, it's pretty sweet.

There was a nice group of us, and Morgan (photographer extraordinaire) was there thankfully to capture some amazing shots from the weekend. I feel like we belonged in some sort of amazing magazine shoot. I heart this place.

The pictures below are all from my camera. But you should REALLY take a minute to enjoy Morgan's. He's got some mad skills. Check out his flicker site:

Karen, she's from Canada.


Karen also speaks French. She didn't let that fact be known but enjoyed listening to people (aka Dave) trying to order our late night dinner from a drive-thru.


Dave and Erika. Having fun playing tag. Or else they were trying to reenact a blender in our kitchen appliance game.

Me. Strutting my stuff.

Senior Dave.


Mike. Two guesses what he was doing up there on the hill top...


Erika and Morgan. Morgan chopped wood and Morgan liked it.

Fine Dining Abroad: Weekend in Lyon

Back September (17-19), Mike, Dave, Monica and I went to Lyon, France.

We stayed in a gorgeous rustic cabin in the beautiful hills (thanks Dave's parents!), we slept in, we had delicious food, we had an amazing game of tag in a beautiful field on a hill, we played games and drank hot chocolate by a gorgeous fireplace and soaked up the sun on the and oddly warm, lazy Sunday afternoon. It was a weekend to remember.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any room in my bag to bring my camera, but here are some pics from Dave's iphone.

Thanks to the crew for such a wonderful weekend!

After our exhausting game of tag. We lazed about, and checked out the gorgeous dark clouds rolling in.

PS After re-reading this, I still don't think I used the adjectives "gorgeous", and "beautiful" enough.
