For Halloween this year the entire family pulled from my mom’s costume closet to dress up as knights, a king, queen, and princesses – complete with Dale the dragon. Grant and Winston got their special outfits in France (amid the HOT weather) so it was extra exciting for them to get to wear their costumes and remember our Summer trip. We also ordered adorable crochet hats for the boys to complete their outfits. Grace also made the trip home from Nashville to help us celebrate and we had the best time trick or treating at Grammy and Pop’s house and around Dale & I’s new neighborhood!
Carcassonne, France
Today we said au revoir to our beautiful chateau and spent the day on a road trip to Provence. Along the way we knew we would have time for one stop and Dale’s pick was the historic fortified city of Carcassonne in the Occitanie region of France. As soon as we could spot the city in the distance I knew it was something special! Again, we perservered through the heat wave and enjoyed a delicious lunch (where Grant ate almost his entire plate of carbonara!) and then headed into the walls to explore. A highlight was finding Grant and Winnie’s knight Halloween costumes! After walking around we hopped back in the car and were on our way to our last long stop of the trip in Cabannes.
