Chamonix, France

We thought we'd venture across the border into France this weekend.  It is only a 20 minute drive.  Everyone says that meat is a lot less expensive over there.  I had to check it out for myself, and am still not totally convinced.  I bought a whole chicken (4 lbs.) for about $18. What a deal!  I got some ground beef for about $10/lb.  We've been eating a lot more pasta.

It didn't seem right to just go to France to pick up meat so we thought we'd go to the mountains again.  We've been having so much success with our mountain excursions.  Chamonix was gorgeous that's for sure.  However, it was sooo much more touristy.  The kids didn't have nearly as good of a time.  We ended up going to lunch, walking around the market and enjoying the magnificent Alps.

Henry is proud of his Euro Cup Suisse soccer jersey.  He has worn it every day since he got it. He spends every morning convincing me it isn't dirty.  (I am allotted a five hour time slot once a week to do laundry.  It actually has worked pretty well so far).
