Beyonce Knowles 31st Birthday Vacation | Pictures

Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z got away to France yesterday! The couple, along with their 8-month-old daughter, Blue Carter, were seen on a yacht cruising the Mediterranean Sea. The family retreated to Europe following Jay's performance at the Labor Day Budweiser Made in America festival. He performed with Kanye West Saturday, then closed out the show Sunday with a rendition of "99 Problems" backed by Pearl Jam. Beyoncé went to Philly to support her man during the festival's inaugural run. Monday, though, was all about B — it was her 31st birthday! We celebrated by looking at Beyoncé's hottest photos, and many of her friends sent greetings on the milestone. Gwyneth Paltrow wrote a note that was posted on Beyonce.com, which read, "For dear sweet BB on the occasion of her 31st birthday... We love you so very much. Love Gwyneth, Chris, Apple, Moses." Now Beyoncé's keeping the celebrating going in high style on her family getaway.
