Papa and Nana left on Sunday, October 23rd and the kids didn't go back to school until November 1st, so we all enjoyed some down time before school started again. Randy was also getting ready for his first trip back to the states since we moved. This was all after he ran the 1/2 marathon in Lausanne. It was a beautiful day for the run and we met up with the Horton's to cheer on both dad's. Randy had a long list of items to pick up to fill two empty suitcases he brought over with him. We will see if he can fit them all in!! While he is in the states for 2 weeks, my friend, Kari, came over to visit for 9 days. Time to put my travel agent skills to work again : )
Kari arrived on Wednesday and we took a tour of grocery stores on Thursday and then headed to the Olympic Museum on Friday and saw the sights of Lausanne. The weather was overcast and it rained a little, but that didn't stop us from exploring.

The museum was pretty interesting and had the torches and all the medals on display from all the Olympics. There were also two areas dedicated to the winter and summer games which included the outfits and shoes worn by some of the athletes. After the Olympic Museum we headed to the cathedral and walked around the old town center.

Will post the our trip to Gruyere cheese and Callier chocolate factory shortly. With school and visitors I have fallen a little behind on the blog.
