My Mom and two Aunts came for a visit recently. My Aunt Beulah and Aunt Virginia stayed two weeks...my Mom stayed three. We were on the go from day one...winery, Venice, ocean, dinners, Rome...so much fun! I hated to see them go. I'd be completely happy with my entire family living on a huge compound...I'm serious! Life is short, and it would be wise to spend it with the ones you love.

Getting base passes from the Italian and American police on their first day...eye candy! ;-)

Winery tour and wine tasting...good times.

Outdoor market

Dinner at Raffa's...local Italian woman that has authentic Italian meals at her home. Deeeeeelish!
