Giardini di Natale di Asiago {The Gardens Christmas in Asiago}

     Aaron arrived home safely from Germany today around noon. After driving for 8 hours, he was ready for a nap as soon as he got home. I had just put Connor down for his, so it worked out perfectly for us. After we woke up, we got ready to go to the Christmas market in Asiago. What I though was only going to be a 30 minute drive, ended up taking us over an hour. I didn't realize that it was deep in the mountains and on a super windy road. We should probably map it out before we leave next time. 

We saw snow in some areas.

Once we finally reached Asiago, we found a parking spot and got all bundled up. It was around 40 degrees when we got there. Brrrr!

 I think he was pretty warm.

 Such a cute town.

The market was in Piazza Carli. There were not as many vendors as I thought there would be, but it was still really fun to see.

 My loves.

Once we were done shopping at the market, we crossed the street and walked down another street lined with shops, markets, trattorias, and bars. We were really cold by this point, so we didn't stay much longer.

 Isn't it pretty?

 I loved these pillows for Connor's room... too bad they don't match.

It got dark really quickly. When we walked by the market on our way to the car, it looked really pretty with the Christmas lights.

 I don't think we will be going back to Asiago anytime soon {because of the crazy drive}, but I'm glad we were able to go see the Christmas market that everyone has been talking about.   

     We were starving by the time we left Asiago, so we dropped Kylie off at home and went to dinner at a pizzeria near our house. I didn't think I was going to make it because I was so hungry, but I did! The food was really good and Connor was a good boy for us, so we were able to enjoy it.

He loves bread sticks.

    Today ended up being a really fun day. I am so happy Aaron is back home and we are able to go somewhere new today as a family... even though it wasn't as close as I thought. I'm pretty excited about going to another market in a couple weeks where there will be a Santa for Connor to meet in person... and it's only 30 minutes away. I mapped it already! ;)
