11/29/17 Getting Packed Up!

Well, it is our final day in Aix-en-Provence for this trip.  We are getting packed up and ready to leave tomorrow.  We will be taking the train to Paris, spending Thursday and Friday night in that most fabulous city, and flying out from CDG (EARLY!!!!) to London. Then on to Denver, arriving on 12/2/17.  We will visit with the kids, catch up with friends (and doctors), do a little Christmas shopping, and be back in Green Valley on 12/6/17.

It has been an amazing trip. We have seen so much, done so much, and learned a lot.  We had a wonderful visit with Stacy and B, and most recently with Max, which included a Thanksgiving celebration (sans turkey) and a day and night in Paris.

We are looking forward to returning home and spending the Christmas holiday with family and friends. John is back on the golf schedule for the middle of December!  We are preparing ourselves for lots of changes to our neighborhood in Quail Creek.

We are thankful for this trip and for the time spent together.  Precious! We are blessed!
