We Are Back!

We arrived home from Italy late on Tuesday night.  It was a wonderful trip filled with food, spectacular sights, and good friends and I am so thankful that we were able to go.  They say it takes a village to raise a child and I truly felt that this past week.  We would not have been able to go without the help of Nana, especially, and Dr. Danks, Momo, Aunt Chatham, Uncle Johnathan, Paula and Bridget, plus lots of local friends who all came together to take care of the girls while we were away.
We flew out of Jacksonville to Venice (via Atlanta) on Labor Day, spent a night in Aquiela, a night in Venice, a night in Florence, two nights in Tuscany, and two nights in Rome before flying back home on Tuesday.  It was a full week but I wouldn't have done it any other way.  My mom kept the girls by herself all of last week and managed to get them to school and all of their activities on time.  Yeah, Mom!  She took them back to Raleigh last weekend so that she could attend some social functions and Aunt Chatham and Uncle Johnathan stepped up to babysit.  Mom and Momo brought the girls back to St. Marys on Monday.  They left yesterday morning. 
I will post photos of our trip as soon as I get them downloaded off of my camera.
Ciao!
