TUSCANY / FLORENCE
May 8 - May 10
We spent 2 nights in Tuscany and took a day trip into Florence. It was great to see the city and stay out in the countryside! Both are beautiful in their own ways.

This is the replica of Michelangelo's David. It stands in front of the Town Hall of Florence, where the original David once stood (the original was moved to the Accademia Gallery so that it's better protected). Standing in the Accademia and seeing the original really was breathtaking - much more so than I ever expected!
Florence was great...but I also enjoyed getting outside the city, seeing the vineyards and having a little downtime. When we returned from a busy day of sightseeing, we had some time to hang out by the pool on a beautiful day before having dinner together at the hotel.
