I traveled to Italy for 3 weeks with my husband when our first daughter was 15 months old.  When we bought the tickets, I couldn’t believe we were actually going to do it.  It was scary and daunting.  How quickly my apprehension melted away once we arrived.  I will never forget the people we encountered and how warm they were to us– my past anxiety of traveling with a young child in a foreign country now seems so silly.  I hope to keep adding images from our future family travels to this gallery as the years go on, but for right now… Italy, you have my whole heart.
