Positano and the Amalfi Coast

From Pompei we headed to the Amalfi Coast to Positano, where the wedding was to be held.  Michael and Kelsey had reserved the most AWESOME villa for all of us to stay in.  It - was - amazing.

View from Villa

Eating is an EVENT in Italy.  NEVER do you arrive at a restaurant before 7 (which is hard with a baby, I guess that's why we never saw babies out!), and then you have several courses...  appetizer, meatless entry, meat entry, and perhaps dessert (and lots and lots of wine!).  Val and Kelsey took us all to dinner on the mountaintop - I have NEVER seen SO MUCH FOOD, ever.

My wonderful parents

Is this heaven or what?

Our very own pool (which I never got in!  Ack!)

In the villa were olives...

... and grapes.

The beautiful bride-to-be

And her siblings - Connor, Colleen, and Billy

Often there were no tubs, only showers, so we improvised!

Our daily breakfast

Just hangin' out (yes, I'm in my pjs...)

We had to walk up and down HUNDREDS of stairs to get food or anywhere - so many days we just didn't!

More attention for Miss Charley!

Another makeshift high chair...

Dipping my toes in the Mediterranean!  Didn't let Charley in so Daddy wouldn't miss her first beach trip!

Panic, Uncle Val?

Prettying up little girl too

Ah, bliss, there's a dog!

"Want one of my crackers?"  "Sure!"
