More Kids, Less Scenery!!!!!

OK, I guess these posts have been heavy on the sights, and light on the kids, so here's a really long post featuring our crazy boys. Mostly it features them eating or drinking, because it was so hot that we took ice-cream and/or drink breaks at least twice a day. So here they are, all over Italy... see if you think they like travelling!

This is us waiting for the fununcular to take us up to Todi...

Here are the kids in the fununcular, hanging by the bar adults are supposed to hold onto for support

And in Todi, there is cheese pizza!!!

Here comes the gelato brigade

Isle of Capri

One day we risked our lives by allowing a taxi to drive us down the Amalfi coast to the actual town of Amalfi, where we grabbed a ferry and visited the Isle of Capri!

This is about where the drive started, amazing views the whole way

The town of Amalfi apparently has a very popular beach, which we somehow successfully fought the urge to visit

Here we are on the ferry!

And finally, into the Capri harbor!

Capri in July was totally jam-packed of course, but we managed to find a great lunch place up above most of the crowds. Here's the view from our table
