There are a few friends in life who know you inside out. They support you, encourage you and celebrate life with you joyfully. Our friends the Sneeds are those people. They got behind our crazy idea to travel around the world early on and have cheered us to the finish line. So, it was only fitting that we crossed paths on our journey and joined them in France for a week of fun with our two families. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend and sweeter family to spend the week with (and the south of France wasn’t too shabby either!)
We hiked mountains, saw the calanques (creeks) on the coast near Cassis, joined a French family reunion and soaked up the bright sun at the beach and the pool. Every morning included a trip to the local boulangerie where we eschewed the American diet for croissant, brioche and baguette. We embraced the outdoor picnics and reveled in the fact that we didn’t have to fight the bugs or humidity while enjoying our rosé.
Luke was ecstatic to play with the Sneed kids, and Mitch and I soaked up some good quality time with Jordan and Patrick. It was a week we’ll always remember!

Luke,
I have enjoyed reading about your around the world trip. What a great adventure! It sounds as if you have gotten a great education this year while not in the traditional classroom. Thank you for sharing your facts and photos with all of us back at home.
Love,
Mrs. Cunningham

Aww Je suis jalouse! I so envy my jet setting friends who managed to rendezvous half way around the world when our busy US lives leave little time for boulangerie visits with best friends. Love seeing the children (and husbands!) so happy. Miss you both and perhaps we can rendezvous for lunch at Anis or Le Bilbouquet so I can hear the amazing details. Xoxo
