On Friday we woke up, left Rouen and headed to Honfleur.
We rented this adorable fisherman's cottage through Airbnb...I literally squealed and clapped my hands when I saw it.
We spent the day walking and exploring the quaint little town. We ate lots of bread (of course), seafood, and ice cream.
The girls definitely had a favorite part of our trip to Honfleur, and it was the 2 story carousel:
Honfleur at night:
Sadie tried her very first oyster on this trip. HA!
On Saturday we took a day trip to Étretat to see the famous cliffs. I made sure to show the girls Monet's paintings before we left, they thought seeing the cliffs in real life was SUPER cool.
We spent several hours just exploring.
Can you find the girls?
On the way back to Honfleur we took a detour and found this house as well as some WW2 bunkers. Jimmy was super pumped about one and I was super pumped about the other. Want to guess who liked what the best? Hehe!
Whew! Days 2 and 3! Tomorrow I will share our time in Bayeux.
Have a beautiful Thursday.

Lovely to see Honfleur again, so many memories flooding back. It looks like you had a wonderful time. Except for the oyster experience maybe?! CJ xx

I am with Sadie on the whole oysters thing. Sidenote : I keep using you as an example of a satisfied airbnb customer for my husband. He's afraid to use it, thinking something would go wrong with the house and then you're stuck somewhere with nowhere to stay. You can use me as an excuse to keep traveling - "Jimmy, we're helping this lady in CA out by showing her husband airbnb works". ;)

Wow! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures! My goodness...Harper seems to have grown up overnight and Sadie has gotten so tall in the past year! Looks like you created some wonderful memories!

I want to clap my hands and squeal just looking at your photos. And like the commenter above, I am super excited to try airbnb when I go to Prague in October. You always find the cutest places!

So many fabulous pictures, and yet the pictures of Sadie trying her first oyster are my absolute favorite!!!!

I LOVE that house - so stunning!! I have to agree with Sadie and I LOVED her face! :)

Just beautiful!!! Étretat reminds me of our local http://www.thehopewellrocks.ca/ Pretty amazing! I can't get over how OLD the girls all look, especially Harper. They've all really changed in this last year or so.
How are you feeling?

Your girls look so beautifully French in their nighttime outfits!!!!! I would also have squealed (and probably never wanted to leave!) that little fisherman's cottage: but how on Earth did you all fit in it???!!!
