Monet's old stomping grounds: Giverny!


Mom, this one's for you...you would love this place.

A few Fridays ago, we took another day trip with IES. This time, we ventured out to Giverny, where impressionist painter, Claude Monet, used to live. There, we visited his house, his gardens, and a museum dedicated to him. I don't have any pictures of the inside of his house (we weren't allowed to take any), but hopefully all of the lovely scenery will suffice. :-)
