It's the middle of January and that means it is time for my annual girls' trip!
This year's destination: Bologna
We headed to the train station after school Friday and ran into our wonderful co-worker, Andrea
Playing Cards Against Humanity: Teacher Version while enjoying some Prosecco and snacks in the train station.
The Italo fast train was the way to go!
4 hours from Naples to Bologna
After a delicious breakfast at the hotel on Saturday morning, we quickly found a market.
Awesome deals on cool dishes!
A little coffee break in the main piazza
So happy to spend some extra time with Madds!
Melissa and Sherri in their Mecca:
Nespresso
Cheers at lunch before spending a relaxing afternoon at the hotel spa
On Sunday we ventured to Fico Eataly World
( a food paradise!)
Ready for our tour
Bring on the meat sweats!
Wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese from floor to ceiling
A wall of chocolate
Maria and Sherri in the "chocolate lab"
Melissa and my reactions to our chocolate tastings
Time for some wine and lunch
The gelato line was too long, so I opted for a beer instead :)
Eataly World is so big, you can cruise around on bikes!
Madds and her love of Mortadella
Tasting some delicious Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses
