Florence with Mom

5/15/2015

My Mom, Emma, and myself headed to Florence for Mother's Day weekend this year.  My mom has always dreamed of going to Italy and during her visit for Emma's 1st birthday we were able to squeeze it in.  We had to haul the pack 'n' play and the car seat, in addition to our luggage, and a baby with us on what was quite a travel day - 1 hour car ride, flight, shuttle bus, train ride, then a taxi.  It was a lot to lug, but once we made it, we spent 4 amazing days roaming the city.  Some of it I unfortunately spent stressed trying to juggle Emma and being a tourist/tour guide, but that's probably to be expected as I try to do it all.  

One of the highlights of the trip was spending the day with our friends who are stationed in Italy.  They were kind enough to spend the day driving us around Tuscany.  We had planned to visit two vineyards and a market in Greve in Chianti.  As we walked around one of the vineyards I told them about this amazing winery my husband and I had gone to when we were in Florence last.  On a whim we looked up how far away it was and it turned out to only be 15 minutes from us!  I'm not really sure why I hadn't looked it up before, because I've thought about this winery often and always dreamed of one day ordering a case of wine from them.  Our visit to their vineyard, Solatione, turned out to be the highlight of the day and eclipsed all the other vineyards we'd seen.  I was glad that my amazing memories of it weren't overhyped.

It was a very different trip (I probably took as many pictures of Emma eating as I did of the Duomo), but a memorable one for sure.
