I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated the blog. If we ever did have any faithful readers, I've probably lost them at this point. Please forgive me. I promise to do better. :)
Well, my parents just left a week ago or so after a month long visit to Europe. They spent the first 5 days here in Zagreb helping me watch the kids while Laura went on a trip to Rome with her mom (1st time without kids in 2 years). The next week, our family and my parents went on a road trip to Tuscany in northern Italy. It was a blast and I highly recommend it...even with little kids. It's full of little towns set on top of a hill and vineyards as far as the eye can see...then olive groves after that. It was very relaxing. Anyway, after our trip to Tuscany they came back and spent 5 days or so in Zagreb with us while we got back to work. Then they took a trip to beautiful Dubrovnik on the Croatian Adriatic coast. A few days later they returned for America. We got very used to them being around as did the kids.
For those of you who might one day consider or who have already gone to Tuscany, we stayed about 10km from San Gimignano...the town with all the cool medieval towers. We spent a lot of time there. We also went to Siena a few times which was beautiful. Other towns we visited were Florence (of course), Volterra, Pienza, and Montapulciano. It's so great because you can choose a couple of towns to visit one day and on the way you'll pass by a bunch of vineyards with wine tasting. You choose a vineyard to pop in on and enjoy some of the local wines. One of my favorites was "Rosso di Montalcino". I haven't found it for sale here yet, but maybe you can get it in your part of the world.
Anyway, it was a very enjoyable vacation. The location was great and the company was even better!
