Annecy: Family Sunday with my Cenac Fam!!!

Sunday in Geneva is family day.  Stores are closed and you can always find families taking walks or playing on the playground.  Some of my Geneva family aka my friends and I decided to have our own family outing on family day!  Caitlin, Heidi, Chris and I went to Annecy, France for the day!  I could not think of a better way to spend a Sunday!  Annecy is an adorable little town that is built around mountains, a lake, and consists of little canals throughout.  































When I first arrived the first thing I thought of was that it looked like a little Venice!!  Along the bridges and the cobble stone streets, tents were set up selling everything from fruits and vegetables to sausage to cheeses to hats to handmade wooden items! It started raining but that didn't stop us from having an awesome day!  We found a great little creperie and had savory, followed by sweet crepes! 

We also stopped for some INCREDIBLE hot orange wine; I can't wait to bring it back to Columbus on those cold Ohio days! 

We went to two museums about the Annecy castle, the history of Annecy, and an old prison. 

We walked to Lover's Bridge, to the water, and just enjoyed the day and each others company!  

We had some delicious local cuisine in a cute little restaurant and then headed home!  

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to just hop on a bus and go to Annecy for an awesome day trip with incredible friends.  I love Family Sundays with my *Cirque du Cenacle* Family!!
