Arriving in Venice with a twist in the plot.
Poor S has been under the weather. He either has food poisoning or a GI virus as he had diarrhea yesterday (thankfully stopped by a dose of Imodium) and then vomited this morning firing breakfast (now zofran on board). He actually felt “better” after that but had been tired and off all day. I managed…

Last full day in Florence
The day began with a nice restful night’s sleep and I’ve planned our trip to that approximately every other day, we don’t have anything to run to early in the morning. Which means the kids get an hour of screen time with breakfast I cooked and I get an hour of running time, much needed…

Day trip to Lucca
I’ve been to Rome, Florence and Venice before, so it was really my wish to see a new place in Italy. I’ve had this dream of doing a bed and breakfast farm stay in Tuscany, taking cooking classes and riding bikes along the roads of Tuscany. So today was a nod to that day, though…

Day 2 Florence
Well, my good sleep streak was broken last night by a just Ok night of sleep, probably because we ate way too late (7pm) and went to bed with a full belly. That’s never good for my body, I’ve found! Woke up today, it was pouring, and I had a run on my schedule. So…

First full day in Florence
We all slept amazing last night and were refreshed and ready to go this morning. I slept over 9.5 hours but honestly could’ve slept longer. I’m getting the best and deepest sleep of my life here. Not waking up a million times like I usually do. No work stress or life stress or what are…

Rome to Florence
We left Rome this morning. I managed a morning run! We took the subway to the train station and so we all got to navigate how to buy tickets etc. And look at these studs carrying their own luggage down dozens of stairs at the subway. I’m so glad we only packed carry ons! We…

Last full day in Rome
When this is your morning run view, you know you’ve been blessed to start the day off right. Though actually, the day started at 1am when I woke up to find both boys awake and roaming around the apartment. This is why I got us a 3 bedroom to start—so one person’s jet lag wouldn’t…

First full day in Rome
We went to bed at 8ish last night. I was up several times hearing some noises in other apartments. Next thing I knew it was 837am and Z and I woke up at the same time feeling decent for a first day. We had our colosseum tour at 10am so I didn’t have time for…

Arrived in Rome!
This will be brief (maybe?). We’ve traveled about 24 hours, slept less than an hour, and are now in Rome, having dinner in a restaurant by the Colosseum while others are having breakfast in Portland. The world is a strange place sometimes, huh? By the way, the food was delicious! We flew to Iceland then…

Off to Italia….
We are at the beautiful new renovated PDX airport, still shocked and heartbroken over the direction our country is taking, on our way to Italy. We are flying to Rome via Iceland and then will hit Florence and Venice. This is a bucket list trip for us, especially S, who is enamored by Venice and…
