Ischia.

JJ's new boots.  He's very excited for it to start raining : )

Since Brian felt bad for being gone for a week, that included my birthday, we went to Ischia last weekend and stayed at an AMAZING hotel right on the ocean.  We would have never been able to afford staying there during tourist season, but one of the best perks of living here is that you can visit all these places during the offseason when it's not as crowded and actually affordable.  Ischia is an island right next to Capri, but for some reason Capri is where everyone tends to go.  We actually enjoyed Ischia a lot more because it wasn't as crowded and was very laid back.  We hung out in our hotel, went for a few very long walks, and had a nice dinner.  It was a very relaxing weekend, well, as relaxing as it can be with two young boys with you.
