We’ve had a great, if quiet, week here in Florida. We’ve managed to book some fun future travel plans, talk to the kids and grandkids and other family, and enjoy this corner of the world.

This slice of Florida has been great this month. We’ve really enjoyed being able to take our daily walks in a beautiful place. People here are friendly and the resort is impeccably kept. Although we have had some decidedly COLD days, we escaped the bitterest of weather that much of the country endured this month. We sure can’t complain! It’s been really good to feel settle a bit so that we could get some things done. To everything there is a season, and this has been our season to be still. Soon, it will be our season to move and we’ll bring you all along on some new adventures!

We’re on our way back to Ohio/West Virginia to see Lauren and Bo and the kids, but we’re going slowly via Nashville and Dayton. We’ll check in next week from beautiful Marietta, Ohio!

A Trip “Home”

A Trip “Home”

We went to Switzerland to visit the Swiss side of the family, Nathan’s sister’s family, and our nephew. We had a great time with the fam, ate lots of good food, experienced crazy spring weather, and did some hiking.

A Little Q&A

A Little Q&A

We are in Switzerland this weekend visiting with family, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to answer some questions! How is the food in Italy? We are happy for the change in cuisine...yummy olive oil! The food here is just like anywhere else...some is...

There and Back Again

There and Back Again

We are back in Torino for a few days, so I have a chance to update you on our road trip last week. Short version: We visited Genova (Genoa) in Liguria, Lucca and Siena in Tuscany, then Orvieto and Civita di Bagnoregio on our way to Rome. We were in Rome for three days, then it was on to Assisi, Ravenna, Parma, and Cremona before returning to Torino. We had a blast, but we were very ready to return “home”, do some laundry, and regroup.
