The last couple of days have been a paradigm of summer laziness. We’ve done nothing but hang out at the pool, eat, drink, read and for the girls, paint in the garden. This is it, our final week in Italy and so we seem to living it as low key as possible. Plus, the girls [...]

Our last day in Paris was just as chock full as the first three. We had to check out our apartment early because the next family was arriving by 10. Actually, they arrived while we were still there, and poor them we made them wait outside until we were ready and the owner had arrived. [...]
Day 21- Tuscania, Taking Time to Smell the Sunflowers
Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged family travel, Italy, lake bolsena, new york city, parenting, Tuscania on July 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today we did our usual day of rest following the insanely packed day at the Vatican. We walked through Tuscania, still with map in hand, to find some new stores and routes that we hadn’t yet explored. We then hit Lake Bolsena again for some serious downtime and relaxation. The nice thing about being here [...]
Day 17 Staying Cool in Tuscania

We spent the the day in Tuscania going to the market and trying to stay cool on the hottest day so far. I spent most of the day planning our field trip to Rome the next day when the heat was supposed to break. I’m big on planning. I don’t believe in just winging it [...]
Day 10 – It’s not a vacation until someone gets sick

It was bound to happen. We came prepared. But still, when Sophia’s skin turned so hot to the touch that it seemed her pajamas gave off steam, it was a serious disappointment and just plain sucked. So she and I spent the day at home; her on the couch watching Tom and Jerry and Looney [...]
Day 4 Tuscania and Lake Bolsena again! (Why can’t we make a damn cell phone call?)
Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged cell phone, cheese, iphone unlock, italian food, Italy, lake bolsena, lost kid, pasta, Tuscania on July 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We spent the better part of our morning sorting out the mystery of the cell phone. Before we left Corey unlocked his iphone at a place in midtown. Now that it was ready for an Italian SIM card we thought we were good to go, but we still couldn’t make a call. And, since all [...]
Day Three – Tuscania and Lake Bolsena (whining sounds the same in Italy)

So we were prepared for the disaster that would be our daughters this morning. They fell asleep around midnight and woke up hyper and nutty at 7:30. So much for that red eye flight making the jet lag thing easy. Friday is market day in Tuscania so we headed out to load up on fresh [...]
Day Two – Tuscania and the day my husband was almost impaled
Posted in Italy, Travel, tagged gelato, Italy, jetlag, summer in italy, travel with kids, Tuscania on July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I thought nothing could be a better sign of great things ahead than my daughters sleeping 12 1/2 hours our first night here. Still jet-lagged and starving we stumbled down to breakfast. I put on a pot of hot water since tea is my caffeine source of choice, even here in the land of endless [...]
Day One – Arrive Rome, Drive to Tuscania!

We had a really good flight all things considered. It was the first time my daughters flew on an overnight flight and I have to say I’m a fan of that 10pm flight. Its late enough that they conked out, and long enough that they got about 7 hours of sleep. (thanks to some preflight [...]
