EUROPE! (Florence)

Jason was awarded a trip to Monte Carlo for all his hard work. Only the top 15% make this trip, so we were really excited. Jason and I have both toured Europe when we were younger, separately, but we haven't been back in many years. I have been wanting to get back for a long time. We decided to extend the trip and visit Florence, Italy for a few days first. We were so lucky to have our family members volunteer to watch our precious boys while we were gone.

After a very very long flight that was made even longer by having to wait on the plane's runway for 4 hours due to computer and weather issues, we finally arrived in Florence, Italy!
The Duomo
Wonderful cafes with paninis and sweets
Gelato!
Ponte Vecchio Bridge
We hiked across the Ponte Vecchio bridge, over the Arno River, up to the Piazza Michaelangelo to see a beautiful view of the whole city.

Monkey in a tree

Colby's new favorite pasttime is climbing in the tree that's between our house and our neighbors'. We tied a rope to the limb, and he loves to swing from the tree like a monkey.
