Loveliest day

Our last full day in Florence we spent at the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. In a lovely twist of luck, it was the nicest weather day of the whole trip: sunny, blue skies, no wind.  A Room with a View, anyone?  It was a highpoint for me, spending the day wandering around with these people I love.

{On a side note, I love Room with a View.  I made Greg watch the movie when we were dating and he hated it.  What? It gave me pause...could I have a future with someone who despised all things Merchant-Ivoryish?  But then I got over it and I'm glad.  He still doesn't like "pasty-boy movies" but it turns out it doesn't really matter in the big-picture scheme of things.  That's what Girls' Nights Out are for, after all.  And he does love the actual Florence and its views, which is good.}

Hi Annie
Those pictures are really beautiful. Did you manage to get one with everyone (including you)? I have been wondering how your trip went. The scenery looks breathtaking.
Happy New Year

I'm so sad it's over. Thank you for sharing your lovely trip with me.

And this is a bit rambly and silly, but I didn't feel the tiniest bit of jealousy about your trip. Why? Because you drank it in, you ate it up, you found (basic) joy in every moment. And I'm so glad.

I've been enjoying your vacation photos and highlights and have to just praise your daughter on that wonderful hat she's wearing in the bottom photo. We're home bodies with a dsire for travel and it never happens. Maybe this is worth the empty cupboards and empty wallets for the memories with my kids and husband.
