Headed west!

To celebrate our last day in the Jura we enjoyed all our friend's favorite pastries available here since the vary in each region.

The cheese is so delicious here, we enjoyed Morbier, Comte, and La Vache Qui Rit daily. Last night for dinner we also had Raclette and Bleu Cheese added to our fondue.

 The pastries are amazing! You can't decide on just one...

                So better have a little of each!

 I had a cooking lesson in making an almond caramel tart, now I will have a go-to recipe for the next potluck back at home.

 While I baked with Laure, Eric indulged Charles in a duel. Ally and Gaëlle were hanging out and painting.

 Later in the afternoon we got our Nintendo gaming on. Competing fiercely in Mario Cart and then working together to conquer Bowser in Super Luigi Brothers. "Play" is the universal language and we had so much fun playing with the kids.

We had to soak up the views our final morning, it is so peaceful and such clean air.

 We loaded up 2 cars and we were on the road. In many places the freeway looks a bit similar to I-5 but then just around the corner you will see magestic chateaux up on the hillside.

 And beautiful fields of sunflowers everywhere.

 And sometimes you are going down treelined roads and go to cross the river and see this picture perfect town. Had to fumble with my phone to take a picture in time. The 7 hour trip (plus a few detours) went super quick because you never knew what was going to be around the corner.

 We checked into our little farmhouse for the next couple nights to go explore a historical theme park. It is going to be hot but we are so excited!

Just as we were enjoying our dinner on the terrace being serenaded by some cows nearby,  a paraglider with motor came rumbling by, there is never a dull moment!

We are now on the west coast of France for the remainder of our trip and excited to see what new adventures we will have!
