an (Upcoming) Week in Italy

Added on by Taylor Smith.

Among other things, part of the point of living here in Spain was the ease this would give us to travel around Europe during this time off. Hence our trip down to València a few weeks ago.

With that as part of the goal, we booked flights to Rome before we got here, knowing that this was for sure something we wanted to do. My wife and I have been to Europe four times now; once individually before we knew each other, once as a couple in 2019, once with the kids in 2021, and this trip. But, neither of us have been to Italy on any of these trips.1 All of this being said, the point is: we are leaving for Rome tomorrow!

Once we get there we are immediately driving to Pisa then Florence. We will stay in Florence for three days then drive back to Rome where we will spend three more days. We are all pretty excited. My wife has always wanted to see Florence and I am glad I get to take her there.
