This summer we took a vacation to Viry, France.
What's in Viry? Good question... not much, but outside of Viry there is oodles to do.
Why Viry? We decided to try a Home Exchange.
We are now a 6 person family which means nothing is really easy any more... not that it was actually easy with five. Nor is it any cheaper. So, we thought we'd give a home exchange a whirl instead of paying for 2 hotel rooms, eating out, etc. (And camping with a newborn didn't sound all that relaxing!). I won't draw out the suspense for you - it was AMAZING! We found a family that had a country home in France. They were interested in coming to Vienna and we were interested in going anywhere that wasn't a city. Our hope was to find a place to do some outdoor things - swimming, hiking, etc. The place we found couldn't have been more perfect.
We went swimming at a nearby lake. I'm not gonna lie - it was chilly water. That didn't deter the kids (or Dan). It was absolutely beautiful. Don't worry there are no Speedo Pics that follow :).
It was a super relaxing first day to our vacation.
