Italie

Really is there anything more relaxing and beautiful than Italie? The kids were wondering when we arrived late at night. We rented a villa in Tuscany with our friends the Thomas'. Our villa looked sooo scarry at night. Old stone walls, no windows, and very strange decor. Olivia said it looked like they showed up at the end of a yard sale and took everything home. The walls were plastered with ugly artwork, statues in every corner (Buddah, Pharoah & naked ladies) and little trinkets on all the shelves. The kids started to cry and said they didn't want to vacation in Italy! What was a mother to do? I said everything would be better in the morning and boy was I right! Once again when we opened the door to the outside world we were in awe and fell in love with the Italian countryside. Needless to say we avoided the inside of the villa as much as possible.
