Rome here I come.

Yesterday we drove to San Gimingano and then had an overnight stay in Sienna, took a lot of pictures but the internet is super slow I am hoping to post more tonight when I arrive in Rome.
This is not our rental, I love these cute small cars you see them everywhere.

Firenze part 1

We arrived yesterday in Florence and today we walked a whole day downtown. We saw the Duomo, lots of piazza's, and other interesting museums this goreous city has to offer.
I thought this is a super cute classic car.

Tomorrow we are heading to Tuscany, I won't say goodbye to Firenze cause I know I will be back, until then.......................

Beauty is found everywhere, just keep your eyes open.

On the day we were leaving for Rome , there were some storms rolling in. I like how fluffy these clouds were looking, isn't it just gorgeous?

Here are some pictures I took recently when we went on a bike trip, well the kids went on a bike trip and I borrow one of the bikes for the picture. I am heading out to Rome in a couple of hours.
