The drive through Tuscany was stunning -- rolling hills covered in grape vines and gorgeous stone homes and wineries dotting the valleys. We toured a very small family owned winery which produces less than 1000 bottles annually. We sampled several aged Chiantis and a Prosecco. We all got to enjoy fresh bruschetta with oil pressed from olive trees on the grounds, and homemade almond cookies. The girls found a playground and enjoyed teeter tottering and swinging in the park surrounded by the gorgeous views.

After the winery, we drove onto Pisa and checked into our hotel. We had a gorgeous view of the leaning tower of Pisa from our hotel balcony and almost didn't want to leave. We did eventually head into the town center and checked it out in person. After enjoying dinner al fresco and listening to the tunes of a guitar player we crashed out early.
