Treasures

This Saturday we are performing for the Holy Rosary Health Care's fundraising event in Miles City, MT. This is our second year performing at this great event for a wonderful cause. The event, Treasures, is a beautiful evening full of great food, amazing prizes, and the best entertainment! The event is open to the public and I believe there are still some tickets available at www.hrhfoundation.com.


Last year the organization raised a great deal of money for a cancer patients and this year the event is benefiting children's health care. We feel so fortunate to get to be a part of this beautiful evening...and such a fun crowd, too!!

Europe!

Last month we were lucky enough to get a gig in Lausanne, Switzerland at a music club that brings in different acts from around the world. It was so much fun. First, the Lavaux region of Switzerland is possibly the most beautiful place in the world. The club put us up in a hotel smack dab in the middle of Lausanne with a view of Lake Geneva and the Alps. It was heaven. The shows were really great as well. A very different crowd that we are used to (all Swiss-French). I was shocked at the song knowledge of the people...some barely spoke English but knew all the words to the American/British songs. Our repertoire was a bit different...more Robbie Williams and Queen. And the #1 most requested song? No, not Piano Man...not Journey...but 'It's Raining Men.' I kid you not. I got a good chuckle every night when people brought up their requests...again, English not being a first language. I got songs like 'I While Survive' and 'Sweat Child of Mine.' Classic. Here are a few pictures from our time in Lausanne...


Walking around Lake Geneva



The beautiful city of Lausanne. One of the hilliest cities I've ever been to. No need for the gym here!


A view of the Lavaux region of of Switzerland. One side of the lake are the Alps and the other side are vineyards. So beautiful!


We took a small train up to the top of the vineyards.


We snuck a picture in the vineyard. Possibly not permitted.


This one explains itself.


Up in one of the mountain villages for lunch.


It was hard not to just keep taking pictures!


After Switzerland we took an 8 day vacation to Paris. It was magical. As you may know, Paris is my favorite place in the world. Well...it still is. We were blessed the entire time in Europe with unbelievable weather (sunny and in the 70's every day). While in Paris we walked an average of 8-10 miles a day and ate out at some beautiful restaurants and enjoyed the cheap wine (afterall, it's less expensive than water or soda!) The 8 days flew by and by the end I was not ready to go...

Jeff's favorite building in Paris...Notre Dame. We visited it several times throughout the trip...spectacular.


Taking a break from behind his camera.


The french crepe. Heaven.


Fontaine de Medicis, one of the fountains inside the Jardin du Luxembourg.


The second fountain in the gardens: Fontaine de l'Observatoire.




We took a day trip to Giverny, France, the home of Claude Monet. There we were able to visit his famous gardens, pond, and lily pads. So breathtaking.


The floral colors were so brilliant.


Posing on the bridge that Monet made famous.


The next day we went to the Musee de l'Orangerie where Monet's large lily prints are displayed. He created these paintings just for this space. Sadly he passed before he could see them installed.


Another trip to Notre Dame.


The sky opened up just so I could capture this amazing shot.


Now we are in my favorite building in Paris...l'Opera Garnier.


It's not easy to capture the tour at night, but this one turned out pretty well!


Our last night in Paris. Drinking a bottle of wine underneath la Tour Eiffel. Not a bad way to end our trip!


We had such a great time and can't wait to go back!

I am terribly behind on my blog posts...but in the meantime, I thought I'd share one of my favorite videos. I dedicate this to all of our wonderful magician friends who are actually very talented. Enjoy!!
