In October we spent the girls’ fall break in Italy! It was a whirlwind readjusting to normal life but it was SO WORTH IT! We had a wonderful time away visiting Rome, Florence, and Venice.My parents watched this sweet boy for the week we were away! Love these two! They are the very best travel buddies! 😍we flew into Paris on our way into Rome and this was on our layover after a 9 hour flight. They are seriously just the best and easiest travel buddies! They are truly the happiest when they’re traveling and I just love that! ☺️As soon as we landed, we took a local train/subway and walked a few blocks to our hotel, checked in, and set off to explore!FIRST STOP: Gelato, obviously. 😉SECOND STOP: The Spanish Steps! We headed here right at sunset and were able to catch a beautiful sunset. We were hoping to catch dinner and drinks with a view at the restaurant right next to the Spanish steps but no luck with reservations! Afterwards we ate a quick bite and walked home to turn in for the night. The following morning we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel!😊We headed out for the day and quickly realized we’d be better off getting day passes for the hop on/off bus. We grabbed those tickets and headed off to see…The Colosseum! The girls, especially Ava, were the perfect age for this! 😍One with all of us (minus our sweet bebe)☺️It’s a shame they don’t get along that well…😋😍The bus rides were probably their favorite part of the day! 😂We enjoyed pizza by the pound at a local place followed by more gelato, of course! 😉We got back on the bus and hopped off at the Spanish steps. We tried our luck at the rooftop restaurant but stuck out again! We couldn’t stay too mad because at least we got to enjoy the view again!We headed home again but this time stopped for pasta on the way home. I think it’s safe to say Aaliyah loved her pasta! 🍝 The next morning, we grabbed a cappuccino and explored some more. Needless to say, I LOVED IT! Walking around a new city with my people drinking coffee and soaking in the culture is my favorite way to spend the day!Then we hopped back on the bus and did a little more sightseeing!My sweet girl! 😍🥰Side story: Aaliyah ran straight into a lamppost as we were walking out and hit her forehead pretty hard. You would’ve thought Ava was the one that got hurt! The way she rushed to Aaliyah’s side, comforted her, and even tried to pick her up to carry her just made my heart so happy. It’s something I don’t ever want to forget! 👯♀️ 🥹We walked around a bit more, enjoyed the tourist attractions, and the beautiful views of just everyday Italian living! Then we headed back to the hotel and grabbed our bags…And took a train to…Beautiful FLORENCE!
