| Tuscany... beautiful, beautiful Tuscany! I am obsessed with this part of Italia.. actually, who am I kidding.. I am obsessed with ALL of Italy! It is amazing to me that each part of the country can have it's own special claim to fame. And the Tuscans can certainly claim the wine! Maybe it's the fact that they served us Nutella Pizza at dinner (Hayley... I'm hoping you try this and become an expert at it!) or maybe it's the fields and fields of lovely sunflowers, possibly the memories shared with newly acquired friends at wine tasting did it, or even more--the beaches and coastal towns contained in the Tuscan boarders on the Mediterranean ... whatever it was, Tuscany will always hold a special spot in my heart! I hope to return as soon as I possibly can!  |

| Faimly style dinner in Tuscany So the courses in Italy are as such: 1.) BREAD! 2.) Anti-pasti (hope I'm spelling that correctly) 3.) Salad 4.) Entree 5.) Dessert Every meal took no less than 2 hours... especially when wine was involved. I see why in Italy food and together-ness is enough of a reason to celebrate. Oh yes, and we never ate before 9pm.. always finished late |

oh my goodness Morgan that looks absolutely gorgeous and everything seems delicious!! Enjoy yourself Mo, can't wait to join you : ) Great pictures, too!
ReplyDeletebtw, that Nutella pizza looks positively divine!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pictures! What beautiful landscape! And I never realised what food connoisseurs you girls were! Haha
ReplyDeleteI'm so overjoyed that your trip is going well and you have such a great group to share it with. Can't wait for Hayley to join you.
We're headed to Disney for Logan's award, but keep snapping pictures and posting. Love the updates. Love, MOM
Tuscany looks like a place I want to go....the wine, the landscapes....sounds like a return girl trip someday.
ReplyDeleteI think your summer is a lot more fun than ours! It does look like you stepped into the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. Just don't buy a villa while you are there! Unable to meet your family this weekend at Disney, due to flooded rental property, but so proud of Logan. I think Nutella is the best kept secret from Italy. Who doesn't love it! Enjoy, Love, Les
ReplyDeleteBTW, there is a Tuscan village for sale on EBay for a mere 3 million...25 cottages...only 25 miles from Florence...how about it?
