Bridget Miller: Toscana!

Having my parents here was suuuuurreal. Absolutely surreal! I rushed downstairs immediately when I saw them drive up in the taxi and had to keep reminding myself throughout the week that We are in Italy! Together! No way!

too cute :) Love you both.

We had a week to ourselves... we hit every monument/statue/museum/church they could have wanted and were able to stroll through piazzas, alleys, and streets in Rome. After 4 days in Rome we drove to Tuscany. Driving was a blast... and it went a lot smoother than I thought it would :)

We stayed in a great hotel in a smaller town and shopped and walked the days away.... the highlight of the trip for me?? My new gorgeous Italian leather weekender! gorgeous. I loooooove it. Thanks Mom and Dad :)

After 3 days and 5 towns (Florence, Siena, Colle Di Val D'Elsa, San Gimignano and Volterra) they headed for London and the Cotswolds. They had a fabulous time here and I've heard they are loooving it in England/London!! :) I am looking SO forward to being home and seeing them and Jake & Sara... and sitting by a fireplace with hot chocolate!!... and dancing at Outlaws... and eating Mexican... and being with Eric. ooooooooo I can't wait!

One thing that I will miss is the food here. My parents and I had some AWESOME dinners and sweets during their visit... I want to remember every dish I have here so I can remake them when I go home-home so here a few of the best!

I love nutella and I love crepes... why not combine them!?
