Prosecco Road

One of my "Bucket List" items has officially been fulfilled!  The first weekend in May, Bunny, Kate, Melissa, and I set out on an epic road trip to Northern Italy. 

Our destination: Prosecco Road.

We have arrived!

Our first tasting

A snap decision when I was behind the wheel led us to Adami Winery. It was one of the best tastings I've ever experienced.

 Saturday morning we explored a little town for a while

 

Hiking through some Glera vineyards 

(Prosecco is made out of Glera grapes)

We learned so much about making Prosecco at Toffoli Winery 

Bunny and me :)

 After lunch stop

 Waterfall along Prosecco Road

 The ULTIMATE find: a Prosecco vending machine!

 Our wonderful guide, Carla, and me showing off our vending machine purchase

 Not bad for a weekend...

Spring Sports Opening Day 2018

Spring has arrived in Naples and we are ready for another season of baseball and softball!

Camden kicked off the morning pitching for his minor league baseball team

MC extraordinaire, Chris

Emma at bat

Chris at ump

There were not any umps for the softball game, so Chris was gracious enough to volunteer behind the plate

Emma made a great play at pitcher (coach was pitching)

 Emma was the catcher at the end of the game

 Great first game, ladies!

 For Camden's second day, he played a visiting Italian team.

Safe at homeplate
