Summer 2020

After a spring full of virtual learning and working from home, we escaped to the mountains for a long, screen-free weekend! 

We hiked around Mount Marmolada in the Dolomites. 

We also made it to the famous Lago di Sorapis. Except for Graham. He took off ahead of us and got himself a little lost. He never saw the lake, but he did find his way back to the car. Meanwhile, I tried not to panic thinking of all the places he could have fallen. Luckily, we all made it out happy and healthy. 

 

For Father's Day, we hiked straight up a cliff and through some tunnels to a lovely mountain rufigio called Lagazuoi. 

We spent several weekend days going to our favorite, Lake Garda. 

For the Fourth of July, we drove over to Nice, France. We stayed right on the water and loved every minute of it. 

We had lots of late nights with dinner and gelato. Italian towns at night are magical. 

Alaina learned how to ride a horse! 

We spent a weekend on Lido di Venezia celebrating our friend's 40th birthday!

We found a van converted into a delicious sandwich shop.

More Lake Garda!

At the end of July, we took a road trip down to Napoli. We stopped in Orvieto for a night. 

            

We celebrated our anniversary in Montepertuso, a town above Positano and home of our favorite restaurant of all time. 

We made it back to Napoli!

And back to Florence!

We had some date nights on the town in Vicenza. 

We tasted some wine and explored some vinyards. 

And we went back to Lake Garda. 

My life has become so remarkable that it isn't even remarkable anymore. Experiences and stories that once compelled me to blog have now become my normal life. I'm not taking it for granted. I'm incredibly grateful. I just don't have the motivation to write it all down.
