Monaco

We had visitors last month!!!  It was so much for having Dennison's brother Shane and his wife Ellyse here!  We did a lot of fun things with them and they also got in some pretty amazing things by themselves in Italy.  We walked around Old Town Nice with them the first night but I didn't take any pictures.  The next day we heading to Monaco.

 We ended up walking pretty much across the whole country.  Not really, but it sure felt like it!  We first headed up to the palace.  This is the view from the top:

And the palace:

 We got there just in time to watch the changing of the guards. Pretty cool.



Then we walked all the way over to Monte Carlo.  But rest assured that we did NOT take the most convenient or direct route.  We'll call it the "scenic route".  Also know as "the route of up-hill climbs".  It was fun though and very beautiful.


That night we had dinner at one of the restaurants on the beach here in Nice.  The view and company were superb, the food was just ok.  Ellyse and I had the pleasure of sharing some raw salmon.


Carter took a picture of us before we left.


 He also couldn't leave without taking a picture of the lobster tank.
