PJ and I were watching a special on TV and saw a segment on the Dordogne region of France. We both said “we have to go here”. A week in August was booked with 2 nights in Burgundy to break up the drive. What a trip. Our kids loved every day. We got to taste wine, enjoy fabulous food, play in the river, visit castles, and spend real quality time with our kids. Trips that involve cooking in the apartment, breakfasts at “home” and water activities are generally the most relaxing and memorable. This one was no exception. I could go on and on about how fun it was. Here are some of our favorite memories…

Our hotel in Beynac

Swimming at the hotel pool on the side of the mountain. Our children were heard all over the town.


Lovely Beynac.

Arriving from a long 3 hour paddle down the river with mandatory stops to fight pirates.

One of the many adventures our GPS took us on. Always in France!

Burgundy, France

French countryside and the moo cows.

Little town where we stayed called Orches.

Not sure why I like these so much. I think it's because you don't ever see them in SoCal...
