How is it possibly already June 6? Where has this Spring gone? It's hard to believe I will only be in Italy for another month and a half before heading off to California for 3 weeks with the family, where I will finish up my time with them. I have been having such an amazing time lately that leaving is going to be incredibly hard. I had a fabulous week long visit with my mom and Sissy at the end of May. We went to Capri for one night, but other than that were in Rome the rest of the time. I have spent some time in Monte Argentario- a coastal town in Tuscany where the family's beach house is. It is the most beautiful place and it is so nice to go out on the boat all day with the kids, anchoring in the middle of the sea for a picnic lunch, stopping at various ports for gelato, parking on the beaches to play in the sand...pure relaxation! At the same time, I have also been having such a wonderful time in Rome- falling more and more in love with it every day. I have been spending a lot of time with my friend Alexandra. She's from Virginia, went to University of Richmond, and also to Episcopal High School, so we know some mutual people and have really hit it off. She lives in Trastevere in Rome which has been so much fun to spend more time in- Trastevere is a whole different side of the city that has such a quaint feel to it. Life seems too good to be true right now! The kids finish school at the end of this month, and I actually just figured out that I will be going to Greece (Mikonos and Santorini) for a week with Meredith, Burney, and Molly at the beginning of July! I am looking so forward to it- an incredible way to end my year.
A few pictures from my mom and Sissy's visit.
