an engagement

We are happy to celebrate Tyler and Jackie's recent engagement while they are visiting, and I shot some photos for them this morning before they left for a few days in Rome. We are lucky to have some sunshine today, but it's cold and really windy. After battling the wind in an open field, we tucked into the woods for protection and continued at a few more locations that kept the hair whipping to a minimum. Here's a few shots of a cute couple...when they weren't making goofy faces at each other:

geneva tour

We took our visitors on the train into the city and saw the sites. A usual grey sky for our tour -including stops by the the jet d'eau, flower clock, cathedral, cannons, city wall, and snacking on chestnuts on the streets of old town. To escape the cold, we spent some time wandering through the large Museum of Art and History. It was the first time there for Derek and I too, and we really enjoyed the artifacts from local excavations, paintings of the surrounding Alps, and the extensive armory...really cool knight's helmets.
