This time we decided to take in the free and inexpensive sights and scope out the best food in the city.
We arrived extremely hangry, so our first destination was dinner. Gyros were calling our names, so we headed straight for Greek on Cary. We ordered the chicken gyro and the classic beef and lamb. I loaded up on the grilled veggies (which I highly recommend), and Asher went for the fries.
Cue my inner Lizzie McGuire and call my husband Paolo. I’m so excited to share about our short time in Rome with you. We began and ended our Italian honeymoon in the ancient city.
Every year, I get a serious case of FOMO, and if you’re basically an old person like me, that means “fear of missing out.” I get this anxious feeling every fall that I just HAVE to see the leaves in all their glory. Am I the only one who feels this way?
Exploring under the Tuscan sun has always been a dream of mine. During our visit, Florence effortlessly weaved itself onto my list of the best places in the world.
The sun came out on our second day in Venice, and it made all the difference! We started our day with lattes and pastries in a little hole-in-the-wall eatery before heading to St. Mark’s Square and the Bridge of Sighs.
It’s not every day you get the chance for a mini weekend getaway with the best of friends. Our day trip to Atlanta, Ga. turned into an overnight adventure so the boys could visit a car show.
We got back not too long ago from our two-week honeymoon in Italy, and I am so excited to finally share our experiences with you! We spent our time in Rome, Positano, Florence, Pisa, and Venice, but the Amalfi Coast was by far my favorite. I’ve never been anywhere so postcard perfect!
While the boys hit the museums in Washington D.C., we hit the historic, pastel-colored streets.
Living in Greenville, S.C. makes Asheville an easy day trip. I’ve been several times, so I have a lot of favorite places to visit, but there are two Asheville gems that I always stand out – Flora and The Regeneration Station.
