Anthony was pretty excited to start. He memorized his lunch number before school started, he had met his teacher. He was set.
Day one he was up before me excited. By the end of the week I was dragging him out of his bed. Best part of the week, he is in school all day learning new things. Worst part of the week, he brought home a cold. 
Shane: *chuckling* it's from Star Wars. Tell her what it is Anthony.
We received word last week after 6 months of mandatory overtime, it would be coming to a end a week earlier than planned. I am super excited that it is ending. However I can't just stop cold turkey. That is going to be a huge amount of money missing from my paychecks that I have grown a custom too. So over the next month I will slowy be getting my time back to myself!
Jackson was given the chopsticks for beginners. At first he was having fun just picking up the noodles and dropping them.
Finally he started to eat the food.
He even was picking up chicken with the chopsticks, and dipping them in the sauce.
He turned into a real pro.
I was just amazed how well he ate without Anthony there.
We learned to play craps. Fun game, not so fun loosing our money.
Extreme midget wrestling was in town that night. Shane was hoping to see the show. Unfortunately we didn't get to see it, but a few of the wrestlers did come over to the dance floor we were hanging out at.
Which one is the the billboard?
They guys and their beers
Laura managed to find some interesting people to dance with.
Me and the birthday girl
This guy was pretty cool.
This I am pretty sure was Shane's highlight of the night.
We sure had great time with great friends.
Our first stop was the Grace Kelly gardens. Such amazing views.
Overlooking Monte Carlo.
Monaco City Hall
St. Nicholas Cathedral, Monaco
Inside is where many of the Grimaldis were buried, including Grace Kelly and more recently, Rainier III.
The city was so clean, with beautiful gardens everywhere.
We were in Monte Carlo about 5 days after the Prince was married. The city was still decorated which was fun to see.
The Palace were the wedding took place.
And this is the town hall, where the civil ceremony took place.
The famous Grand Casino. We only saw it outside. It was not worth paying 10 euros to see the inside.
Monte Carlo has to be one of my favorite stops on this cruise, and I am really happy I did the tour. Really learned a lot.
The cruise was amazing. Had amazing food (see above). Met amazing people. Enjoyed sitting by the pool each day after seeing the cities. What a tough job I have.
This is my leg a week after the accident. Once I was home I was saw a doctor who provided me with a tetanus shot, and week worth of antibiotics. It seemed to get worse before it got better.
We got off and decided to just walk the city. 
Portofino is a small Italian fishing village, comune and tourist resort located in the province of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. The town crowded round its small harbour is considered to be among the most beautiful Mediterranean ports.
It really was just an amazing little town.
Lots of yachts.
This one below, was told to be Bill Gates yacht. If you look closely it has a helicopter on it.
We pulled into St. Tropez, and found nothing but yachts.
For many, St. Tropez conjres up images of endless beaches, suntanned bodies, an celebrities enjoying martinis on the deck of a luxury yacht. St. Tropez is all of this and plenty more. Although its best known today as a glitzy playground for the rich and famous.
The water was such a beautiful shade of blue.
I really just wanted to rest and try and heal my foot. So the day in St. Tropez was my day to do just that. I sat by the pool most of the day. But did adventure out and see a little of the city.
The streets are narrow with lots and lots of high end stores.
I may have only got off and seen a little bit of the city, but at least I can say I have been there.
