Back to Texas, we went down to Port Aransas to spend Christmas with Ben's family.

Pots

While Ben and I went Christmas shopping in downtown Montpellier, Oliver had way too much fun with his grand-parents!

Sete

Every Wednesday Sete, a little fishing town 30 min west of Montpellier hosts a big market, mostly famous for his seafood market. We had so much fun at the market, we forgot to take pictures there, but here are a few pictures of the canal going through the town.

First beach time

My parents live in Montpellier, near the Mediterranean coast. Oliver got to have his first beach experience there. Not warm but sand and shells are so much fun!

off we go

We had a good amount of apprehension traveling overseas with Oliver at this age. As they say, traveling with an 18 month-old is like traveling with a chimpanzee... pretty much impossible to keep them down in a plane seat, especially when the flight is 10 hours!
A friend gave us this little car seat carrier which was super handy to haul Oliver around airport and train stations! I wouldn't say the trip was fun but the car seat ended up being a life saver.



Not too bad after 15 hours of travel...
