Mum in the making: Thankful Tuesdays: Travelling together

The hubby is attending a conference in France this week, so the kids and I tagged along. France has been simply lovely. We've driven past fields and fields of sunflowers, mostly dry and golden brown and starting to seed...

The one and only shot I managed to capture of the sunflowers (on the right), which we zoomed past on the road.

We've managed to spend some time exploring:

Chateau de Chambord. It was closed when we reached, but we spent a happy hour exploring the grounds, glad to stretch our legs from the long car rides!

... soaking in the bits of loveliness everywhere, from the grand, to the simple:

And I'm thankful that we're able to take this trip together as a family, sharing the good food, and chomping through countless baguettes. Junior J has had fun running about and has been eating well (and keeps asking for fries with ketchup):

While Baby J has been his usual curious self, waving to waiters in the restaurants and climbing everywhere. Now that we're settled in an apartment for a week, he's been eating better, and is happy to eat fish (something we didn't give him in Germany since it was pretty expensive!)!
