Italy Day 1 - First day in Sorrento/Amalfi Coast

Our trip to Italy was amazing and hectic!! The first day was spent traveling - flight to Boston, flight to Rome, taxi from Roma airport to Rome train station, train to Naples, different train to Sorrento and finally our hotel!!

The next day we took a bus ride along the Amalfi Coast with a stop in Positano and another stop in Amalfi! Beautiful coastline with a hair raising bus ride!!

View from our hotel room.

In Amalfi we stopped for lunch and toured St. Andrew's Cathedral.

Kids got to feel the water which was cold! Then we finished our day with a delicious pasta dinner at Mama Che Pasta!

Birthdays

Quick post for Gavin's Birthday since I didn't have time before Spring Break!! We did a small celebration at home on his actual birthday and then Gavin enjoyed his 9th birthday at Ken's gym again this year!

Gavin was measured at 4'11" at his annual checkup!! So we had to get a picture of him next to Shannon, who is Rapha's Mom and around 4'11" tall as well!

And here's Mommy's cake!! The frog cake for Gavin and this whale cake were both from a Vegan Bakery in SLC - SOOOO Good!!!
