Summer vacation(the French Alps part)

And FINALLY the second part of our summer vacation! I have been wanting to see a mountain stage of the Tour de France for the last few years so we decided to make our way to the French Alps. We rented an apartment in Morzine which is a gorgeous city in the French Alps. I fell in love with the place and would love to go back next summer. This was a great place to be for the Tour de France because we were able to see the riders go up a mountain, stay in the same city where they stayed for one of their rest days and then see them start another stage. At every start there is a little fenced off area which they call the Village Depart. This is for all the sponsors and riders and there's free food and drinks. We were standing outside one of the fences looking in(wanting to go in) when a French woman asked me(and Jonas) if we'd like to come in. So we put on the entrance bands and in we went. That was the icing on the cake. What a great experience!

Our beautiful drive through the French Alps.

We went through the Mont Blanc tunnel. Mont Blanc is the highest point in Europe.

Waiting for the riders to come up the mountain.

Here they come...

The ladies!

I think Max enjoyed seeing the riders but he enjoyed the helicopters the most!

Max isn't the best at posing for pictures.

Max and Kajsa were very sweet to share their lollipops with Jonas.

One of Lance's bicycles.

Max was in heaven seeing so many motorcyles in one place!

We went to the public pool one of the days. This was on the way home from the pool.

We brought one stroller with and it worked very well. Having both boys in at the same time wasn't a problem.

A little train to play in.

Beautiful views every where you look!

So many cars in the Tour de France.

Here we are in the Village Depart.

Jerome Pineau, wearing the mountain jersey, took a break in the Village Depart before the start.

Jonas wasn't too happy being held by Brian Vanborg(a Danish rider).

Andy Schleck- second place winner.

A lot of celebrities have visited the Village Depart.
