A visit to Firenze

We went to visit some friends in Prato Italy for the weekend. While we were there we took the train into Florence (Firenze). We rode the train in and walked around the town. I went into town on Friday night with Tracie. Then on Saturday James and I went into Firenze with Brandon and Tracie. Caleb was in the middle of being sick with the flu and so Evan volunteered to stay back at the house with him. When Jared found out Caleb was staying behind he wanted to stay as well. So the boys stayed at the house all day with Evan watching videos and playing games. I think they enjoyed that way more than walking around Firenze with us. I know we enjoyed it and we didn't have to listen to the boys whining about how long we were walking around. We had a great day.

The city was beautiful and as always the architecture and sculptures are amazing. Florence is where the original David is. We had our pictures taken outside the Ufizi which is the museum where David is housed. So the picture of us is taken in front of a reproduction of the original David. Still a magnificent sculpture. The details in the sculptures was amazing. We walked along the Ponte Vecchio which is where all the gold and jewelry shops are and have been for hundreds of years. Still a lot of the original woodwork there. Really beautiful.
