Lake Como

   A couple days ago I posted about our trip to Venice with Aaron's dad and Carol. While they were here, we also made a trip to Lake Como {on Sunday 9/21}. We got on the road first thing in the morning and met Carol's aunt and uncle at their lake house. They were super sweet and took us to a couple of villages around the lake on their boat. We had a blast!

 Walking on the narrow walkway to the boat.

This is the town where their lake house is: Abbadia Lariana.

 Enjoying the ride with my sweetie!

 And my little sweetie!

 It was chilly, so we got to snuggle :)

 Neat road going around the lake through the mountains.

Mommy and daddy relaxation time!

 We had two captains: Captain Livio and Captain Connor.

 Cemetery in the mountains.

Our first stop was in Varenna, and it was beautiful. I am glad we didn't take the stroller because there were tons of stairs.

 Running after we got off the boat.

 I liked being able to see how far we traveled and all the little villages in between.

 So much to see!

 See all those stairs?!?

Cute hotel.

We were able to peek inside the church and see a wedding taking place.

We walked around Varenna for about 45 minutes before going to our next stop, Bellagio.

 Pappy, Carol, and Sophie.

Beautiful church.

There were stairs everywhere!

After Bellagio, we went to our final stop,  Lezzenzo, for lunch.

"No hands mom!"

Check out that hair.

We had such a great view.

I don't think I have ever seen Connor eat so much food.

Our appetizer was different types of fish.

Sofie took Connor down to the water so he could feed the ducks.

He loved her!

Lunch was fish with sides of vegetables and fries.

Connor was throwing the ducks bread over the balcony.

Dessert: creme brulee.

Enjoying an sorbet.

Still eating... fresh grapes from the vine this time.

After lunch, we got back on the boat and rode home.

This house was gorgeous!

Pappy was pointing at the birds.

Seagulls flying away as we get closer.

On our way back to their lake house, we grabbed some gelato. Well I didn't, but Aaron, Connor, and Sofie did.

"I'll take a scoop of everything please."

Even though Christine and Livio spent all day with us, they were kind enough to make us dinner at their main house. Connor fell asleep as soon as we got in the car to drive over there.

We had such a fun day,  It was actually our favorite day in Italy so far :) Thank you Christine and Livio!
