Most of those trips centered around grabbing something quick for lunch and taking the girls to a park, but the weather was great (sunny and in the low 60s), so we couldn't complain. We spent a lot of time in the car, and Summer is still complaining of motion sickness, but her doctor said to give her half of a Dramamine, and that seems to be helping (but not always).
The highlight of the week was visiting Mt. Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. We visited and ate lunch in Chamonix, which is the skiing village near the mountain.
From there, we took the Aiguille du Midi cable car, which takes you up in two stages to 3842m and is the closest you can get to the top of Mt. Blanc without climbing!!
There were incredible views of the French and Italian Alps.
It was somewhat stressful chasing Samantha around, as one of us always had a tight grip on the hood of her jacket. Summer enjoyed playing in the snow, although she had a difficult time adjusting to the altitude at the summit and basically fell asleep in David's arms. On the way down we were first in line for the cable car and got a prime spot at the front (but Allison got crowded out of the way by a creepy old lady).
On the way back, we stopped by Annecy again where David played with the girls in the park while I took Sharon into town to find dinner. The park is right next to a large lake, which comes in handy when you roll over a pile of dog crap with the stoller.
