A glimpse of Grannie

Mom and Sharon made it safely to Villers-la-Faye last night, and we have had a whirlwind day -- lunch (les galettes) in Nuits-St-Georges, a drive through some of our favorite villages, a trip to Beaune where Kate, Liv and John had ice cream and rode the carousel and Mom, Sharon and I did an official degustation at the famous wine cellars of Patriache et fils. After sampling more than 15 different wines (that's not 15 GLASSES of wine, bien sur, but 15 samples in the lovely wine tasting cups we got to keep as souvenirs), we settled on a few favorites and cracked open the first bottle when we got home.

I am a bit wiped out so will just post a few great photos. Below, Jack reads Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator with Grannie. Next, Mom and Sharon walk through the cobbly streets of Beaune. And finally, Kate and Grannie make funny faces at each other while Liv wears Sharon's fancy sunglasses in the back. More pictures and more stories to come once I get a bit of sleep!
