Spring Break

For springbreak, the children were out of school for 2 weeks. We decided to take one week to travel since Preston was off as well. Preston's sister, Paula, was also on springbreak, so she met us in Barcelona. She would be our 1st family member to visit us! She found a great price on a ticket from Newark, NJ to Barcelona and from Paris back to Newark. This way, we would spend the first 5 days in Barcelona, 3 days in Clermont, and the last 2 days in Paris.

So, we put the 7th seat back into the car, packed a barf-bag kit for John and headed south. On the way down we crossed Viaduct de Millau, the tallest vehicular bridge in the world. It is taller than the Eiffel Tower and it was impressive. The scenery was different in this part of France, the Languedoc region. It is amazing how different the landscapes are in every region of France, considering this is a small country. Each mountain range has a different look as well. God is so creative! We stopped for lunch then continued our trip, crossing the Pyrenes Mountains, into Spain. Our next stop was Barcelona, baby!
