Italy, always a special place to visit.

Nelson, Allie and Mom on Allie's birthday
There is truly something magical about Italy. Must be why we keep returning, something keeps pulling us back. Maybe its the people, or the wine, or the majestic Tuscan sunsets, or the incredible food, or the creamy gelato, or just a feeling of raw natural 'down to earth' living you get when you are there. Anytime you get to spend time in Italy is a blessing, but its even more special to spend your birthday there. Allie's mom came to meet us in Tuscany for Allie's birthday. We visited wineries and Nelson did some biking in the Tuscan hills. We then traveled to the Roman region and spent some time in a small ancient Roman town called Sutri. We truly enjoyed our time in Italy, again, and will be sure to return soon. Enjoy our photos.

This gentleman was so nice and was retiring after 40 years in the leather business. 
Gelato! 
Nelson's favorite! You would have thought it was his birthday!

The area around Rome is home to numerous beautiful lakes.
