Past Adventures: Florence

| bucket list, Italy, Past Adventures

Two summers ago, the sumer of 2011, I had the amazing opportunity to visit the city of Florence with my mother and maternal grandmother, Meme. This week long trip occurred just before I studying abroad in Rome, which was my most popular post in the month of April!

I had been to the gorgeous city once before but visiting on a three generation shopping trip was an experience I will never forget! We shooped our hearts content and visited some beautiful aites along the way!




Oh, and I ran into the male cast of 
The Jersey Shore while they were filming!

    Had to find this post after reading your post about Venice. I lived in Florence for a month (studying abroad) and these brought back so many feelings. You have no idea how much I miss it! We met at the Duomo almost every morning for class. I would love to live there again or even just visit!

    Soooo glad you posted this! We are heading to Italy in two weeks (wait less than two weeks now AHH!) and we are spending three days in Florence. Where is that picture of the locks from?

    Lovely pics! And yes, I have been to Florence. I ate A LOT of Pizza when I was there. There is a bridge of locks very similar in Paris. What a lovely trip. The Jersey Shore cast sighting at the end there is so funny!!

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures. They brought back great memories. I was there 3 years ago and fell in love with Italy.

    If you get a sec, check out my latest post ‘Bonjour’. I would love to read what you think.

    Hope you had a great weekend with the family celebrating Mother’s Day.

    what is better than Italy? I mean, seriously?! I was in Florence once, but only for a few hours so I just walked around the markets, saw the fake david, had a bite of pizza and was off to lake garda.

    Florence will ALWAYS have my heart. After studying abroad there, I’m pretty much obsessed. You can see the street my apartment was on in that ariel shot of the Duomo!
