Loire Valley -> Saint Malo

We were the last people at breakfast yesterday, and the first people there today. We're just trying to figure out this new time zone!

We got packed up, got ready for the day, took a nap, and headed to Villandry. We ended up stopping at McDonald's for a quick lunch (I promise we won't be doing this the whole trip haha) on our way over.

Villandry was quiet, and almost no one was there. It isn't one of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, but Courtney and Michael had been there and it looked cool so I wanted to go! 

The gardens were beautiful and gave me "Alice in Wonderland" vibes.

On our walk to the car, we took a quick stop at a bakery for a baguette and cookie, and started making our way to Saint Malo. 

By the time we made it to Saint Malo (and around a million round abouts haha) it was evening. We wandered the streets and found a restaurant with pizza for dinner and went to a crepe place for dessert. At the pizza place, they were planning Wham's "Last Christmas" and at the crepe place they were playing Ed Sheeran. Feels like home. haha.

I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
