Spring Break

Hello All!

Originally I wanted to write about my 2 week spring break, but I haven't been able to find the time to do that. So, i've decided to just put up photos of everywhere we (my dad and I) went over that time. The beginning of the trip starts at the end of this post and works backwards. I should have started loading the end of the trip first...but oh well! Starting in Paris, we headed to Strasbourg, Freiberg (Germany), Colmar, Eguisheim, Besancon, Geneva, Chamonix, Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand, la Bourboule, Sarlat, Castelmoron-sur-lot, Bordeaux, and finally Nantes. I hope you enjoy! If you want to know any particulers about the trip, feel free to shoot me an e-mail! I'd love to share! Happy weekending everyone!

Love, Kelsey
