I'm warning you...there are a lot of pictures in this post. But it's because we absolutely LOVED Chamonix....it was so beautiful and magical. Even now, as I was uploading photos to this blog, I said to Chase, "Chamonix was so gorgeous" and he agreed. Anyway, here are our adventures of the French Alps.
Us at the Mer de Glace--the glacier that slices through the Alps. It is about 13 miles long and incredible to see. In this picture you can see the gap between the glassy glacier and the snow. Very cool.

Up above the glacier
We rode up a gondola to the top of the Alps to experience a wonderful view of Mont Blanc and the other mountain peaks. Here are just a view photos of the incredible vistas. Isn't is beautiful??
Here you can see the glacier from above and snow covered

High? Yes, I think so. It was so freakin cold up there. If you took your hands out of your pockets for more than 5 seconds you could immediately feel them freezing and becoming numb.
Chase & Mont Blanc...the highest mountain peak in Europe.
The day Chase went skiing I spent my time walking around the little town and reading...what a glorious day. I sat in the lobby area of our hotel and read and this was the view I had. I actually think I spent just as much time staring at the mountains as I did reading. I don't think life gets much better than that.
The charming town of Chamonix by day
...and by night.
Out in front of our hotel the night we arrivedWe loved Chamonix and would love to go back someday!
