On April 6, Chris and I celebrated 10 years since we said, "I do."We have talked for a long time that we wanted to go back to La Maddalena for our 10th anniversary. When the job in Naples came our way, and spring break just happened to start on our anniversary, we knew this trip was meant to be!
Mom (a.k.a. Nana, Linda, Rock Star Traveler) flew in to Naples on Friday afternoon. We hopped in the car a few hours later and drove to Civitavecchia to catch the overnight ferry to Sardinia.

A bedtime story...
Fast forward 10 hours (we actually arrived in Olbia, Sardinia before 6 a.m. and then drove to Palau) and here we are enjoying our first cappuccino and cornetti at La Vecchia Fonte.
Our first of many trips to the park downtown.
The boys enjoying the view of Palau from our apartment. You can see La Maddalena across the water.
On the ferry to La Maddalena!
We drove around the island a bit and stopped for a walk along the beach.
I have reminisced (and dreamed) about the BEST panini in the world since the summer of 2000. Saturday's lunch was at none other than the Cristal Bar. Verdict: still the BEST panini in the world!
We continued our walk down memory lane.
Here's what's left of the base...
Chris' apartment (no longer white) was on the top right.
Speedy Gonzales, the bar next to Chris' apartment, is now a car detailing place.
The apartment my fellow Camp Adventure Counselors and I called home for the summer has also gotten a facelift.
The Vista Mare School, where we held camp, is looking pretty sad these days. :(
A walk through the piazza.
Our last stop of the day was our favorite beach on the nearby island of Caprera. We fondly named it, "Relationship Beach"
