Bell'Italia!

Italy is truly a beautiful country. We took advantage of Jennifer and Grant's visit, to do some sightseeing in some of the most gorgeous areas in Italy (though there are so many!): Tuscany & Umbria.

We drove to Florence, spent the day there, then drove to Arezzo (still in Tuscany) for dinner and spent the night in an old "Torre" that was renovated by some friends' of ours. Emily had a blast! She even got to drive a tractor!!

On the last day we went to Gubbio, a medieval town in Umbria. The town was built on a mountain and all the buildings were made in the same color stone as the mountain so it blended in perfectly. We were very grateful for the internally built elevators that took you all the way to the top of the town!

Here are some pictures I took of the weekend:
