We're in Italy







We're finally here. We had a rough beginning though - the plumbing in our house at home backed up all over the bathroom floor and all the way into our bedroom closet about 4am the morning were leaving, then about 3/4 of the way to Jacksonville, FL we realized that I had left my passport on the printer/copier at the house and had to drive back and get it (a 4 hour drive became a 9 hour overnight drive), we were very close to missing our flight the next day (evidently it's difficult to get 5 people and a baby out the door on time), the flights went well - we were able to get some sleep and Siena was great on all 3 flights. When we arrived in Venice however, mine & Stefano's suitcases had not made the flight from Jacksonville (remember I said we almost missed our flight) - all of the Hall's bags made it though. My bag arrived at the hotel in Venice later that afternoon and Stefano's the next day. Since then we've had a wonderful trip. The scenery is beautiful and Siena is enjoying herself. Pictures are of us on our front patio of the villa (Villa Fabbroni), the next is a view of the Duomo in Florence, and the last is one of the views from our villa.
