Trip 17: Nice, France & Monaco

I can't believe it has already been a year . . we visited the French Riviera for our one year Anniversary!  Most of our trips over the last year have included a lot of sightseeing, tours, visiting historical monuments, churches, etc. but this trip was all about relaxing.  We stayed in a beautiful hotel on the beach in the French Riviera (the Mediterranean coastline of the southeast corner of France).  We had a wonderful trip and the only time we left the city of Nice was for a day trip to Monaco where we toured the Palace of Monaco and also visited Monte Carlo to check out the infamous Casino.  Jamie was disappointed as it was only a "3 Ferrari Day" (he counts his sightings of Ferrari's as a measure of how awesome his days is) . . Monaco is known for its abundance of wealth so he was hoping to beat the "7 Ferrari Day" in Paris. :)   Happy Anniversary to my amazing hubby!
