With everyone together again it’s just like Christmas morning except without the jammies; that, and we’re gathered in someone else’s home – – – in Italy.
We’re just as excited and running a frenetic holiday-esque pace as we go about fitting our lofty ambitions and long to-do list into a fixed time frame.
Here is our full-boat-fam-visit-to-date photo album of our time in Florence and day trips to Lucca and Montalcino.
Enjoy and Ciao!! 😘😘🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️❤️
