In 2017 we made our first Thanksgiving weekend trip to Tuscany. This has become one of my favorite traditions and our 2023 trip did not disappoint! Unfortunately, Melissa got sick and couldn't join us.
Friday afternoon Bridget, Zach, Camden, Chris, and I enjoyed the best lunch and wine tasting at Manvi.
Camden and I took in the view from our apartment in Montepulciano
If you wonder why we come back every year...
Camden was a good sport and recreated his picture in front of the famous Montepulciano well. Chris stood in for Emma 😂

Porta Di Bacco was the BEST place to enjoy dinner Friday night
A quiet night in Montepulciano
Saturday morning we trekked over to Montalcino for a tour and tasting at Mastro Janni
Ready to explore the Christmas Market in Montepulciano
Camden had to have a classic market cuisine: stinco (braised pork)
Just as we sat down to eat, live entertainment began!
Exploring the market
After a fabulous visit to De Ricci (I didn't take one picture 😢) we walked back through the town square.
Camden and Chris watched the end of the Iowa/Nebraska game. This was their reaction as a brand new kicker came on the field to try the game winning field goal (and he made it!)
5,800 miles away... Emma enjoyed puppy cuddles and movies at Bunny and Jeremy's house
Bunny and Emma
Emma got to spend Friday and Saturday with the Duncans! They went to get a Christmas tree...
TJ took Tatum and Emma to their first casino!
