Two days full of Tuscan food, wine, agriturismo fun, and truffles!!! It’s quite a bit to fit into one little blog! San Gimignano was last on our list of Tuscan towns. This town was the one that I was looking forward to the most, and actually proved to be one of my favorites. Little did…
From Montalcino we drove another hour the following day to reach Siena. There are still so many things I would like to see but for only spending a day here, we could still feel the magic of this city behind walls. More fields of bright yellow dotted the smaller towns that led us to Siena,…
I always keep a few ideas of places to go and things to see for longer trips that require more than just a weekend to uncover. So then when we have unexpected extended time off (like our four day weekend at the beginning of July), we have options to choose from! In the end we…
A quick break from catching up with our travels to share a little fun project I tried this summer- making limoncello! I’m not really a huge drinker but I definitely enjoy trying different things and I certainly had the time, so why not give it a try?! Anyone can make this, anywhere and anytime, but…

Oh my goodness, traffic near the water/coast is always a…
Sometimes plans get cancelled. Sometimes plans get cancelled one day prior. And that’s okay… for most people. I’ll start from the beginning.

As we moved towards the end of June, we began to hit the time in summer where it felt necessary to take two showers a day and we found ourselves getting exhausted from the heat quicker. Nevertheless, we were still able to find slower-paced adventures that let us explore a little without the heat becoming…
Here it is, already August, and I’m still trotting through our June adventures trying to get caught up on here! Lately we’ve been slowing down a little with our travels due to the 100 degree temps and the fact that our car has been in the shop for two weeks. I find it hard to…
We spent one weekend back in June solely dedicated to food, and not just any food but eating Italian food in magical places in Napoli. Italian food (so far in our experience) is never a disappointment but when combined with a certain location of a place, the experience just skyrockets! — A restaurant with glass…
