Alex's March adventures

While I was making leprechaun traps, doing family history projects, baseball, scouts, and in the midst of potty training, Alex was traveling (half of March).  It really was "march madness".  His first trip was to Washington D.C.  It was a quick trip, so he didn't have much time to look around and go inside buildings, but he at least saw most of the major sites on the surface.  He did get to go inside the temple.    




His next trip was to France, followed by Greece.  He really liked the Notre Dame Cathedral.  



Alex nearly got pick-pocketed in Greece.  He felt someone reaching into his pocket.  When he turned around, the guy pretended to be helping him with his bag.  He didn't feel very safe after that, but nothing happened the rest of the time there.  Alex enjoyed the sites.  I think he particularly liked standing where the Apostle Paul taught on Mars Hill.  He also enjoyed his fried seafood dinner overlooking the gulf of Corinth.  Squid??  Blah.  But he loved it.  Luckily Alex got out of Greece just in time before more protesting started again (the following week).   He took lots of pictures - I just weeded through and picked some out.  Hopefully I labeled them correctly...

We took advantage of Skype while he was traveling.  I'm wondering why we hadn't used that before.







Tough job Alex has, huh?  All this traveling that he has to do...
