Ciao Italy!!!

I just returned home from an amazing two week vacation in Italy.  It was a trip of a lifetime that I got to share with my lovely mother and aunt.  We visited five beautiful cities and learned how to have fun the Italian way.  From wine to limoncello and everything in between we drank our way into Italian bliss.
