Buongiorno

Last week we got back from an amazing trip to Italy with my family and I figured its about time I put some pictures up. Out entire trip was absolutely wonderful: we started by spending a week in a house in Tuscany and taking day trips to different cities in the area then we spent our last two days in Rome. Get ready for a lot of pictures . . .

Our first day we drove to our house in Panzanno and stopped at the Ferrari museum on the way. I don't have any pictures from there on my camera yet though so here we are in Sienna on our first full day enjoying a lovely view of the duomo (cathedral). It was one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have even seen.

Enjoying some gelatto (this would become a daily occurrence) in the Piazza in Sienna.


Our second full day in Italy was spent in San Gimignano a beautiful little city in Tuscany that was absolutely picturesque.

The next day we took a tour in beautiful Florence.

We spent the next day close to home. We went on a hike to a tiny monastery, then we went to the neighboring city of Greve and later explored the olive groves by our house.

Day 5 we went to Pisa and Lucca. Here's Jed and I in front of the famous leaning tower.
We also walked up the tower which was kind of crazy - those stairs were wonky!


Riding bikes in Lucca.

The next day was another great day in Florence.

After an amazing week in Tuscany we packed up and headed to Rome.
Here's Jed and I in front of some cool ruins. Ruins were everywhere in Rome. You would literally look down an ally and there would be some ancient columns sitting there.

Our final day we explored Rome some more. Here's Jed in the Roman Forum.

And this is everyone in the Colosseum.

Well there you go. That's our vacation in a whole lot of pictures. I hope you enjoyed and weren't too jealous :)
