Dijon!

Well, we planned a vacation - Daniels Style - meaning we decided on Saturday to go somewhere. Booked a hotel the following Tuesday. And were off on the train the following Saturday morning, August 22nd.

Vacation Destination: DIJON!

Yup, the home of Dijon mustard. I know, you are jealous. :o)

Here are the Daniels on a street leading to one of their town cathedrals:
On Saturday, we spent the day relaxing and wandering around the town. Here are Brian and I on the main square:

The boys slept through the carousel on the first day and us parents had a nice break with un cafe to boot. We enjoyed a relaxing stroll, ate hearty bourgogne cuisine, and just took in the sights and sounds of a cute little town. Here is a picture of the boys being happy, adorable, and the same size:

We made it to another large plaza with these fountains shooting from the floor. We stripped the boys down to their skivvies and let them go wild. This resulted in Michael slipping and ending up with a big knot on his head. While doing this, Brian and Jonathan shopped for our picnic dinner.

We dined like kings at a park nearby Dijon's version of Arc de Triomphe. We had some delicious cheeses, tons of rillettes, some jambon cru, and lots of wine. Well, we drank 1 bottle but bought lots at least. Michael had another injury where he tripped and then fell on the stroller wheels. OUCH.

After dinner, we found a park for the boys to play on. And THIS awesome thing:

Would have gotten much more awesome pictures, but the light was fading fast and 1/60th shutter speed just DOES NOT take clear pictures when you have adults pedaling as fast as they can.

The next day, we woke up, had a slow breakfast and took the boys to the carousel. I mean really, can you say no to these 2 faces? Well, YES. Especially since they are 2, going on 3, so they do lots of things that make you say "STOP THAT!"

We had an awesome time exploring this quaint little town. Thanks go out to Brian's parents for recommending it to me! And here are some other pictures, just because I love them:
