Hello Peeps,
Yesterday I ran nearly 10 miles, just shy. I was only shooting for 9 but I counted wrong while running on the trail and ended up with 10 instead. My feet are killing me but it's a good kind of pain. I'm still not really sure if I'll be able to run the whole 13.5 miles, but I'm pretty sure I'll at least be able to walk across the finish line.
August whizzed by and the passage was wonderful. As most of you know, my family took a 2 week trip to Italy. I had no idea how refreshing it would be. We visited Rome, Tuscany and Venice. Oh heck, I'll just show you the pics.
Kyle thought it would be funny to splash Lily in one of those fountains ten minutes after we arrived in Rome.

Lucy and Lil take it easy on a toppled over pillar at the forum.
Turtle Fountain in Rome's Jewish Quarter.
We ate breakfast in our Hotel Santa Maria's courtyard in Trastevere every morning.
And also drank lots of espresso.
We loved the fountains. They were a highlight wherever we went, this one in Tivolli.
One of the "1001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die", Villa de Este.
Everyone loved it, including Kyle - taking a little break!
This is the Boob Lady. Her tits were officially referred to as "Milk Sacks", hmmm. I'm wondering about my future plastic surgery. Should I go for it? It's a great look, don't you think?
In Todi Umbria, on the way to Tuscany.
This is the pool shower at our beautiful Villa Bordoni in Tuscany.
Lily caught a lizard swimming in the pool. We all liked him but then he bit her and it was time to set him free.
This is the stinky cheese cellar at this amazing old butcher in Greve, near Villa Bordoni.
Kyle was the navigator, I was the driver and we survived without killing each other. But, Wow, the roads were crazy.
Check out the baby mozaic.
Espresso in Sienna.
Florence Pitti Palace Gardens (I think).
Here's the view from our hotel in Venice on the Gran Canal.
The best mask shop in Venice, in our humble opinion.
Waiting for the Valperetto.
On the Lido in our funny paddle boat with a slide and lots of jelly fish.
Cool sculpture garden at the Peggy Gugenheim Gallery
After all that, I couldn't help but be rejuvinated. It was truly mind altering. You should all try it sometime.
