We are home.
We are cold.
We are tired.
The itinerary for this trip was not too crazy or intense, but we still manage to put some miles on the van. Driving a total of 1930 miles in eight days, we did some traveling!
The destination for this family vacation was Tuscany- a central region of Italy.
Initially, we wanted to try to see all of Italy but quickly realized that is absolutely impossible to do in one trip.
Instead, we broke up the nine-hour drive from our house to our rental house in Lucca, Italy with a one-night stay in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Rather than moving hotels every couple days to see the whole country, we spent the whole week in a 17th century farmhouse we rented.
It was a long drive down, but our house in Tuscany was the perfect landing spot for a fabulous week in Italy.
I think I'm in love.
In LOVE with all things Italian.
The people are friendly. They smile and talk to you and laugh and help you...
The language is beautiful. I could listen to it all day, especially the little bambinos ...
The food is yummy. Pizza and gelato all week...
The hills and countryside of Tuscany make you feel as if you are straight out of a movie.
Best of all, we had a SOLID week of sunshine, flip flops, swimsuits and family.
