May Brings Family

Mom and Don made their way over the Atlantic after banking a few flight credits in Dallas. We had a great time visiting with them and showing them the sights and sounds in and around Fontainebleau. Besides our normal route of Fonty, Moret, Grez, Barbizon and the local restaurants, we made our way through Melun and to the famous Vaux Le Vicomte. The rumor is the man in the iron mask constructed this French masterpiece. Built in the 17th century by Nicolas Fouquet, it's magical gardens and summertime classic music festival should be on your list of things to do one day. This placed staged one of the most famous festivals in France and around 2 AM, King Louis IX had Nicolas arrested and he was never seen again.

At the very end of the gardens is a massive lake surrounded by fountains. Rebecca, you look so very French ma femme.



Jason Walker and Shannon also visited us during this week but I don't have any pictures. Jason, help me out here! We had a great time with them with a day trip to Paris that was very memorable.
