Day 2: Èze

On the second day, we spent the morning taking it easy at the apartment.  I dropped by the store and bought a real turkey for Christmas day that didn't cost an arm and a leg.  Then I started researching for an English speaking doctor nearby for tourists out of country that would be open since the kids weren't feeling well.  I struggled with feeling a little guilty as a parent since we left for this trip when Carter had a cough, but Maddie was fine.  Unfortunately, one day into the trip, both were coughing and congested.

In the afternoon, we drove about 20 minutes to Èze which was so unique.  It's a medieval village on a high hilltop right on the French Mediterranean.  The village is so charming and tiny, filled with art galleries and restaurants, most of which seemed closed when we were there.

We got these photos on our way out of town on the last day.  It shows Èze from afar.

Can you find the face?

We caught the sunset just as we walked to the highest point in the village.

Dinner time looked like this: feed kids, bath time, books, and bed time.  Once they were asleep, as quiet as can be with little light, we would eat our dinner in our bedroom since Maddie's room was right next to the dining/family room.  We would also wash dishes with a flashlight in the kitchen since there were transom windows from the kitchen into her bedroom.  The places we see are dreamy, but everything else is what you'd expect with two little ones. But we wouldn't trade these memories!
