Eat. Walk. Love.

Auntie Julia came and joined us for Florence and it was the perfect injection of energy at this late stage of the trip. For someone who has her own kids, she's always surprisingly up to help with our own. We got one more person to share bottles of wine with. One more adult to push the stroller. One big night out for Jo.

Having these guests is always great for reenergizing the wonder of the whole trip. Routines are inevidible, and even on a globe trotting adventure, we can fall into making it feel normal. When Julia stops in the middle of the street to declare how beautiful it is, it reminds us what we're doing and why it matters.

Highlights

Trattoria Dall'Oste (Florence) - more beautiful steaks, but this time with exceptional pastas.
