After our alps hike we spent a couple of days in a little French resort town called, Chamonix. We fell in love with this place and spent an extra night here. Le Hotel Chamonix is a quintessential little french hotel with the cast iron railed balcony and geranium pots... but we were WAY UP in the attic on the 5th floor. No provincial balcony but a stunning view. Adding to the quaintness and the irony of being on the 5th floor, there was NO elevator. We had just finished 2 back-to-back days of hiking and were, admittedly, sore. I'm sure they always knew when we were coming or going during the day by our murmuring ascents and descents!
The gondola across the glaciers goes all the way to the Italian side of the Alps. One section is 3km of unsupported cable!
Chamonix, France

Amazing photos Tiff...good job. Thats not the part of France I saw when I went...time to go back! I am glad your kids were still alive when you got back too!! They were fun to have.
Awesome! Other than Switzerland, I have never had a desire to go to Europe, but now... I think it is in my future plans. Thanks for sharing all that fun!
Breathtaking!! I can still remember that place from visiting my grandparents in France when I was about 14 and having a tart there for my birthday cake. You are making me want to go back again!
Wow Tiff, that looks like an amazing trip! Happy anniversary, what a perfect way for you to celebrate it.
What an incredible trip! (And classic Tiff and Aaron style with plenty of exertion involved!) Those pictures are gorgeous and I loved the cowbells!
Cute little family yourself! Wyview seems like forever ago. Looks like you guys are enjoying life.
Wow! Fun adventures. We hope you do come visit us in Puerto Rico! It looks like we will be there January 2009.
Tiffany, Those pictures from your trip are all unbelievable. It looks like you couldn't do anything but have a wonderful time in places like that. And I am sure the two of you really filled every moment with adventure.
Very cool. It is so fun to see your cute little family. You seem like you are doing very well. So are you coming back to the reunion? It would be so great to see you!
