here comes the sun little darling

Last weekend was magical. The sun was out the entire weekend so we did our best soaking it in and enjoying spring in Florence. On Friday we were craving a little bit of home so a few of us headed to the Diner ( the american restaurant in florence) and we feasted on cheeseburgers, fries, and milkshakes..And maybe it was because I haven't had such a treat in awhile, but this cheeseburger was probably one of the best I've ever had. Then we spent the evening at Piazza Michaelaneglo to see our city with all it's lights and listen to some live music. On saturday, we packed up our backpacks filled with snacks, books, and blankets, and met the gang at this huge beautiful park on the other side of town. We laid in the grass for hours and hours, played soccer, and just enjoyed being with each other. And because that bit of sunshine wasn't enough, the girls and I woke up the next day to jump on a train to head to Laveno Italy, the nearest beach town. However it came as a bit of a shock when we stepped off the train and onto the water only to find there was no actual beach for us to lay on. And in true high sprits we laughed it off, got some gelato, and found a nice patch of grass for us to enjoy. Weekend you did us good, and we are very thankful for those three beautiful days in the sun and letting me live such a charmed life.
