Day one for Norm

A new car!
I slept very little our second night.....So when we finally dragged out way to early, it was a tough beginning. It was car buying day! It wasn't a spur of the moment decision, but we did it. And they do come in handy.
Upon returning, Toby who was in a fitness jag this day, came out for a run around the lake. It was nice, we talked and looked and whined (only a little). He did really well, and it taught me that as athletic director of this trip, I'd better get busy! The goal is a timed 10k and I have some tough contestants!
Maybe Monday.
Kenzie and the view
After the run, we hiked up to the little church above Vesancy, one of my (many) favourite little French villages, next door to Divonne. I took all the kids, and it was a good uphill climb, along a snowy trail to get there. (this is one of my important pictures I had for this trip, hiking in the countryside to see a grea view, or something very old). We were rewarded with great views, appreciated by all. This trip taught me that the 10k goal may not be so hard, as long as I package it right......

Okay, a good day! I felt much better with a little exercise (after 10 or so days of sedentary life) and it was nice to stroke one of my dreams about this trip off the list!
