Vicenza, Italy
This post has been a long time coming. We moved away from Vicenza over six months ago, and are definitely missing all of our favorite places there. This little town in Northern Italy will always hold a special place in our hearts! If you ever find yourself visiting Venice or Verona, Vicenza is certainly worth…

Montalcino, Italy (… again!)
I’m starting this post while sitting on the balcony of the hotel on our last night here. We have visited Montalcino, a small town in Tuscany, several times. It never gets old. I love many towns and regions of Italy, but this tiny village is by far my favorite. And to be honest, there really…

Life Lately – April 2023
Since our trip to Disneyland we have mostly stuck around the Vicenza area and have hosted a few more visitors since Christmas. The first week of February Michael’s mom, Nancy, his Aunt Lilly, and Grandma (“GG”) came to visit for the week. They arrived late Sunday night, and we took Monday to just walk around…

Disneyland Paris
A few days before Michael’s 4-day weekend in January, we hadn’t planned a trip, but got an itch to go somewhere for the weekend. Michael sort of jokingly brought up going to Disneyland Paris, so I started looking into it. We found very reasonable flights, and an awesome deal on hotel and park tickets by…

Christmas in Italy
We started out this past Christmas season with a trip to Florence to celebrate Michael’s birthday. We have been to Florence before when Lucy was only a few weeks old, but wanted to experience the city during the Christmas season. We didn’t go with much of a plan – we stayed at the Hotel Pendini…

Tuscany, Italy
For Thanksgiving, my whole family was able to come for a week to visit! My parents visited once together, and my mom and sister came last Thanksgiving, but they’ve never all been able to come together, so this was a really special trip. They arrived Saturday afternoon before Thanksgiving, and after getting settled we took…

Normandy, France
Last November, for Veterans Day weekend we planned a special trip to Normandy, France to visit the D-Day landing beaches and other WWII historic sites. The Normandy region of France lies Northwest of Paris, and while there are several areas we could choose to stay, we booked a bed and breakfast in Bayeux, France, about…

Salzburg, Austria
We spent this past Labor Day weekend in Salzburg, Austria, and totally fell in love with the city! Sit tight, grab your coffee, this is a long one… We drove from Vicenza (just over 5 hours) and arrived Friday afternoon. After checking in to our hotel (NH Collection Salzburg City – highly recommend, love the NH…

Monterosso al Mare, Italy // Cinque Terre
Last weekend we drove to Monterosso al Mare, the northernmost of five seaside villages in Cinque Terre (literally, “five lands”) on the Italian Riviera (in the region of Liguria). The drive is only four hours from Vicenza, but the last 45 minutes or so winds up and down the hills before you reach the town.…

Bolzano, Italy
Over July 4th weekend we spent the weekend at Schloss Hotel Korb – a beautiful resort in a 13th century castle in Eppan (a small town in the hills about 20 minutes from Bolzano). We visited the castle on a whim back in April for a quick trip and couldn’t wait to come back to…
