Ciao Italia!

At the beginning of the month, Sophia took her first trip to Italy! We had a long long plane ride with a cranky baby who didn't want to sleep, but when we finally got there we were so excited! Sophia hasn't seen her nonna and nonno in months, and has changed so much since they last visited us. When we arrived in Milan, we went straight up to Gignese. We spent a couple of days there before going Sardegna.

The first day there, we were adjusting to the time change. After everyone took a little nap, we walked around town and went to play at the playground.

Having fun swinging!

The next day we drove to a nearby town for a delicious lunch on the lake. Sophia enjoyed eating outside (especially Daddy's snail dish!) and looking at Lago Maggiore and all of the boats and birds.

The next day, Sophia got to meet her bisnonna (great grandmother) for the first time! She came up to the house to visit, and we had a nice meal out on the patio.
