Tuscany Part 1

I'm going to split this up in a few posts, there are a lot of pictures so I don't want to overload you!  My brother left this morning, it was an awesome trip and I wish he could have stayed longer.  He definitely got a lot of Zoe time in, she is probably wondering where the man who carried her the whole time is!! He is back at home little baby...missing you as I know you are him.  It was awesome having him here.  I needed some brother time too, it had been too long since I had spent a lot of time with him.  We tried to do as much as we could while he was here.  We had great weather so it made it all the better! Tuscany rained on and off in the beginning but it wasn't too bad... so here we go.  The first set of pictures from our trip!

At the airport 

This is why my hair is always up.

Leaning tower of Pisa, in the rain. Cold rain. No like. 

I felt like Quaid from Total Recall

You can see I obviously was happy about the rain

Waiting for us in in our little cottage, organic honey, wine and olive oil

Driving through the hills we came across llama. I think...

O ya, I'm a lucky girl.

Restaurant in Chianti, OMG so GOOD!

Nibblin on some bread

I had to break my diet to eat this...so good.  Cheese wrapped in prosciutto and
eggplant with tomatoes.  Lets just say I may have broken my diet a little more than
I would have like when my brother was here. I am weak!

On Zoe's first birthday brother got her name

Tying Zoe to the chair, we didn't have a high chair. This was her birthday dinner
prepared by the owner of the vineyard we stayed at

Massimo's children, Lucrezia and Romeo. They were there to help sing
