We're back from Italia!

After a loooong day of travel we are home. Rob and I went I Italy for a conference and Philip tagged along. I don't want to write tons about it but I'd love to share some highlights. 

He cried the whole first flight and slept the whole second. He did great for our return trip too. 

Rob didn't sleep on the plane (and it was a red eye) so he slept on the train. 

The view from our hotel room balcony! 

We went to Switzerland for the day. 

Beautiful towns. 

Fancy, random sitting room in the hotel. 

The view from the restaurant. 

Philip is hanging out on one of the islands in the lake. 

Chilling on a table. 

"Bored at conference" selfie. 

Avid reader number three! 

First time swimming- not a fan (the water was cold). 

Wining and dining on our SEVENTH anniversary date. 

We love each other. 


We went in this castle. 

This is the side entrance. It is a castle built solely for entertaining guests. 

Philip was cranky. 

A royal bed fit for Napoleon Bonaparte. Literally. 

The castle's garden. 

If you're this rich, you build random structures in your garden and house white peacocks (bottom left in the grass). 

Ezra recognized this ground as similar to Rapunzles in Tangled. 

This guy is an Italian celebrity. Bambino, piccolini, and complimente. 

Just some of the many desserts we were served this week. 

Menu from the formal banquet. 

Funny faces. 

The courtyard of the DaVinci museum in Milan. This place was super cool and super huge. 

We went to the Duomo! Still not finished being built after hundreds of years. 

The world's oldest shopping mall. 

This is the inside of the mall. Has Gucci, Luis Vuitton, prada, Mercedes and Armani (among others), plus restaurants. 

And then we got to come home to these sweet faces. 

We had an amazing trip but are very glad to be home.
