Story of My Life in Geneva: Amy and Jeremy Visit!

We are back in Geneva after a wonderful holiday in Minnesota for three weeks. It was a very fun-filled three weeks and we were able to spend so much time with family and friends. After the three weeks, we were ready to get back to Geneva to relax!

Our visitor calendar is filling up for this upcoming year, and we are so excited! We even had our first visitors this past weekend. Our good friends, Amy and Jeremy, visited us from Utah. It was so great to see them and show them around our favorite places.

On Friday, the girls and I took them to Gruyeres. We really like it there because it depicts Switzerland in so many ways; the village is super quaint, rolling hills all around, and the sound of cowbells in the distance. After exploring the village, we went to the Gruyeres cheese factory for lunch. This restaurant never disappoints any cheese lover! After leaving Gruyeres, we headed to the Lavaux wine region. Most of our visitors are surprised when they learn that Switzerland does make very good wine! So, we did a little wine tasting and drove through the vineyards. Friday night, we had a kid-free dinner down by the lake.

Adalyn LOVES having visitors!

Night out on Lake Geneva

On Saturday, we headed to Chamonix, France. Amy and Jeremy live in Utah, so they obviously love the mountains. We thought it would be perfect to take them to the highest mountain in Europe. They really enjoyed the village and the stunning scenery.

Unfortunately, they were in town for just a few days and headed to Paris on Sunday. We really enjoyed their visit and look forward to our next visitors in September.

This week, Adalyn is in soccer camp, and is very excited. We are also going to go to French lessons that they are offering in a park nearby for two weeks. My goal for this year is for all of us to learn French- wish us luck!! Geneva has a huge week long celebration that starts this weekend, so we are excited to partake in some of the activities.

Enjoy the week!
