Milan April 2009

Tyler, Tristan and I went to Milan to visit the Parisis - It was a quick weekend trip - Thursdsay-Sunday. I was exhausted by the end - I never took kids before - let alone a stroller! And I always have gone for at least 10 days so this was really weird to be there for such a short time. We had so much fun being with Max, Lu & Pia though - just wish it were longer!!!

We girls went to Bologna to meet our friend Geraldine from HS - she lives near there and it was so fun to catch up. Her little girl is adorable and we had a great time.








Leaning Towers of Bologna






Our next day we went into Milan and Max had the day off - it was a holiday actually so very CROWDED - but we had a fabulous time anyway!




Tyler's ears are clean!


Washing stations by the canal - get to work ladies!


La Scala - perhaps in the ballet one day....


The famous Bull - you make a wish and turn your heel on him 3 times...


I'm taller than Auntie Nu!


Cinque-something (500 series)


Eating our beloved panzerotti - the best place to get it is a little place by the movie theater - deep fried dough with mozzarella & proscuitto! Yum!


The best gelato!


Look at the size of the pizza! And yes, we had our gelato before our dinner - oops don't tell my mom!


Pooped after a long day out


What a trooper!



I had to jump right back into the swing once we got home - no rest for the weary! Mike left for Germany and Chandler went to 4th grade away camp - I thought he might fall over from the weight of his rucksack!!! He comes home tonight I'm sure he'll have stories!


Cman, Ms. Moore (who's from SF!) & Donnie


Donnie & Cman - packed & ready to go. They have a talent show and the boys have been practicing for months - they were like a traveling band - they had Donnie's bongos & trumpet and Cman's clarinet!
