Rome and The Amalfi Coast

Before I go any further..

I need to explain the 

eviction.

Eviction is a strong word.

I was being a bit dramatic.

(my middle name)

We have been told to leave though.

We haven't done anything wrong.

Didn't throw a big loud party

or have been disruptive in any way.

The building will be under new 

management and they are doing

major renovations.

So..we need to move.

We flew into Paris the morning

of August 5th.

The next day we were flying 

to Rome!

This was our 3rd trip to 

Italy but first to Rome.

I don't think I'd do that again..

we were SO jet lagged.

We were walking around the Colosseum

at midnight!

The good thing was that it 

was cool at night..

and so pretty!

We stayed in the Trastevere section

of Rome.

We rented an apartment for 4 days and it

was the perfect location.

We took a lot of pictures

with iphones.

Returning to Rome

is a must.

We didn't do half of what

I had planned.

Rome in 4 days 

with 4 kids

jetlagged..

not a great idea.

Believe me..

I'm not complaining.

We did fit in a lot and 

ate amazing food...

but I'd love to go back.

Maybe just with Steve. 

:)

On Saturday we rented a car

and drove to Positano.

A gorgeous and nail biting 

drive along the Amalfi coast!

We stayed in a hotel in

Positano for a week..

this was our view from our

balcony!

We drove to Ravello

one of the days.

We walked around this

beautiful town and 

had a fantastic lunch with 

this view!

Our days in Positano were spent on 

the beach

and eating big lunches!

In the evening we'd order pizza

and hang out by the pool.

selfie!

Another day we rented a boat!

This was probably one of our favorite

days! 

I don't think I've ever seen water this color..

a beautiful deep navy blue.

another selfie from the boat!

On Saturday we drove to Naples..

returned the rental car

(which we did not need the entire week

except to drive to Ravello)..

and hopped the ferry to 

Capri!!

This was taken from our

balcony looking down at 

the kids in the pool!

Capri was so beautiful!

The beaches..the people watching..

the food..the fashion.

Loved Capri!

Hannah and Will

rock jumping

I feel terrible about

not taking more pictures!

Too busy enjoying ourselves.

An amazing end to an 

amazing summer.

I asked Steve recently..

"where to next?"

Although, with moving to 

a new apartment soon

and getting kids

settled into school

and me adjusting to all

of this alone time..

I think we'll stay put for a bit.
