Fun in Monaco

Though Monaco is not particularly a place for kids, we could not possibly miss the opportunity to spend a day there, as it is only 45 minutes away.  The girls have been particularly interested in going, as they are quite curious about Princess Stephanie of Monaco, and the royal palace.  I am pretty certain that they are visualizing a Disney Princess, but why wouldn't you when you are 4 and 7 :o)  We tried to explain the idea of a Principality and the fact that Prince Albert (Stephanie's brother) is actually the reigning monarch of the Principality of Monaco, however not sure that meant much to them.  Nonetheless, it was a great day for both Daryl and I, and the kids.  Here are some photos of our day.
Kids in front of Palace in Monaco just after changing of the guards (they were very fascinated by the guards that don't move!)
