Florence with Family: Pisa

More than the adults, the kiddies loved Pisa. And not so much because of the leaning tower....but because of the rolling green grass that enveloped the tower. The kiddies -- in particular Ashley and Tristin loved running around and playing and playing they did, despite the signs that stated not to walk on the grass. Other than the leaning tower, we didn't see much more because it was getting late and it would be another hour before we got back to Florence. So, we sightsaw, took pics - some so cheezy I don't think I can post -- and then piled back into the bus and rode back home.

Florence with Family: Touring the towns in Tuscany

While we were in Florence, we took a tour around some of the quaint towns in Tuscany - Siena and San Gimignano and then went to Pisa (will include photos in a separate entry). It was a pretty long trip sightseeing but nonetheless breathtaking and absolutely gorgeous. The lunch we had at the farm imbibing wine, eating freshly made fettucini in a bolognese sauce and savoring on various cheeses and salumi was absolutely deelish!

And when we weren't out and about, we cooked fun Italian dinners at home from local ingredients from the market and drank enough Chianti to turn us red.

Tristin loved it, Bella liked it and Ashley (Tristin's cousin) had a blast. And of course, the parents and the family (adults) couldn't get enough.
