Lucca!

Today was a gorgeous, sunny day and we headed to Lucca. It was over
an hour drive, and when we got there, we walked on top of the wall
that surrounds the old city until we found a bike rental place. The
kids were thrilled, and I was a little nervous (no helmets!), but we
were biking on top of the wall, which is basically like a giant park
with a wide path on it, and there were no cars. The Italian bike man
snapped a baby seat on my bike, and we buckled C in, and were on our
way!

C was so funny. He'd wave at all the other bikers, anyone with a dog,
and anyone pushing a stroller. He loved it, and I loved having him
right in front of me so I could kiss on his little head and talk to him.
M did a great job on concentrating and loved being on her own bike. G
liked riding with his dad, and was a huge fan of the little bell. The
entire 2.5 miles, I could hear the little ringing behind us.
After the bike ride we explored Lucca a little, got lunch (fish and
chips- J was happy!), and headed back to the car. The day was still
young though, and we realized we were pretty close to Pisa, so...
