My dad loved Annecy, France when he went with my mom as newlyweds. Genevieve was kind enough to take us there on a day trip from Peronne. It was about 2 hours away. We LOVED it!!
It was unbelievably adorable, colorful and a bit whimsical. Annecy Lake is the biggest, clearest lake I've ever seen and you combine French laketown with apartments and a canal lined with little shops, you get the charming city of Annecy. What an atmosphere!
We had a picnic while sitting in the trunk of Genevieve's cute car. She made a delicious quiche which we ate with fruit, yogurt and water. mmmmmm....
Then after swimming (saw a few topless women and swam next to a big group of loud Spaniards haha) we got gelatto. I got plum flavored which was so unique and refreshing!
Then....my FAVORITE part-we drove over to the other side of the lake to a place called Taillores. It was like a chic Disneyland mixed with every Pinterest expectation you could ever have. It was literally perfect. A glamorous dock, tons of flowers, charming Bed & Breakfasts, blue water, dozens of paraglyders in the sky, elegant harbors. It was just amazing.
After sitting on the dock for awhile Genevieve asked me if I wanted to swim again. Heck yes! I was hoping she'd ask, I just didn't know if we had time. I stripped off my shirt and shorts and got up on a log at the end of the deck, and jumped!
The water was cool and clean and pure and turquoise. It was a moment I never want to forget. It was just so picturesque and summery and unexpected. One of those Is-This-Really-My-Life moments. I was so giddy!

My lips were so sunburned! I wasn't wearing any lipstick or lipgloss!
