Well, life got in the way for a couple of months there, but I finally got back around to writing the last few posts.
We shot a lot of great video on the trip. Now that the photos and blog posts are all done I'll find time to work on that.
This trip was perfect in every way. We had perfect weather every single day. We saw all the sights we wanted to see. We enjoyed great food and gelato every day. We stayed in wonderful lodgings and found our way around when we wanted and got lost when we wanted that. We spent two very enjoyable days with my old friend Phil in Venice.
The girls got to be immersed in a different culture and language. Audrey, in particular, got adjusted to the Italian meal traditions.
Carol's favorite memory is all the great family conversations we had over meals.
We pushed the girls much harder than we originally envisioned when imagining this trip, but for the most part they remained energetic and enthusiastic. Of course we had moments where they were weary but we would take some down time and they recovered quickly.
It was a wonderful family experience. We've already spent time discussing our next international trip. The current consensus is England and Scotland.
We're already saving for it!
