Lucca and Pisa

We've been home nearly 4 months now. Life is back to normal, and as we suspected, our trip of a lifetime seems like a faraway dream. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't ordered a single picture of this adventure. We haven't even shared our pictures with our family or closest friends! It's so overwhelming to get them organized into a reasonable amount! But I have a quiet afternoon, and it's raining outside, so what better time, right? Meanwhile, always in the back of my mind I am trying to figure out how we can GO again. Between the falling dollar and rising gas prices, it just isn't going to happen for some time. I long for the quiet Venice mornings though, or the bells ringing across the Tuscan Hills.

This day spent in Lucca and Pisa was one of our best and most memorable days. We all loved riding bikes around the wall in Lucca. In fact, when we returned home, C's birthday present was a bike seat, so we can ride as a family! We have done it a few times this summer, which has been really fun. The kids remember playing on the lawn near the Leaning Tower of Pisa too. It's not something easily forgotten!

Hope you Enjoy!!
