Day 5...

Day Five: Waking up in air conditioning...felt like heaven! I slept like a log! Up bright and early, we visited the city of Genova (this is where Christopher Columbus was born). We found this fun pirate ship...the kids LOVED it...

Ahoy...


This ship was used in a movie...Pirates...


Then we were off for home with a quick side trip to Carrara...this is THE major marble quarry in Italy...the tours were closed, since it was Sunday, but we could drive right through it. It was pretty cool...this is where Michealangelo would pick out his marble for his sculptures...


They shave the marble off in very large rectangular blocks...pretty cool...

And that, my friends, is our first family vacation in a nutshell! It was a super fun time, we made tons of memories, and we really got to see all the things that we wanted to see. God has been so good to us!

I hope that you have a wonderful and cool day!
Ciao a tutti!
