MCT Blackbeard the Pirate

While Mom and I were off having fun on our day trips around Naples, Emma and Camden were busy rehearsing for Blackbeard the Pirate.

Camden was cast as Peachfuzz the Pirate 

Emma was cast as Peekytoe Crab

Best of all...
Nana was there to watch them perform :)

More Spring Break Fun

Here are a few other moments from Mom's visit...
We had to have Prosecco on Mel's porch on the day she arrived!

One of a few Monopoly games

Tuesday we hiked up to the top of Mt. Vesuvius

Then we toured an ancient Roman villa

Wednesday was the Amalfi Coast with lunch in Positano

On Saturday we toured Pompeii

Montepulciano & Cortona with Mom/Nana

It's Spring Break!

Mom came for her 3rd visit and we decided she needed to see 2 of our favorite towns in Tuscany.  Our first stop Saturday morning was Salcheto Winery.  It was the perfect spot to take some family pictures with Montepulciano in the background.

 Wine tasting at De'Ricci

Sunday morning we drove to Cortona.  Finding parking was a bit of a challenge because of this:

Taking some pics in the main piazza

Walking up (and up, and up, and up) to the cathedral

We stopped for some lunch and got to see the bike race speed by

We let the kids have a "pass" for giving up sweets for Lent so they could have some gelato with Nana

15 Years

They say time flies when you are having fun and I couldn't agree more! 
Chris and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary on Thursday.

The last weekend in March, we took a little weekend getaway to Positano.

 This is the view from our hotel when we arrived Friday evening

Friday night dinner at Chez Black

Good morning, Sunshine!

A Saturday morning jog through town

We made it to a lookout point a few kilometers out of town where we found a fruit stand

Fresh squeezed orange juice and strawberries!

The man who owned the fruit stand graciously offered to take our picture

Down to the beach for lunch

Wandering around town

Evening wine with one of the best views in the world

Cheers to us!

We had to leave bright and early Sunday morning. This sunrise made our early wake-up call worth it!
