Our week in Dordogne, France

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…

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