Zeno's Bar & Grill

Have we been, you may ask? Ummm, well, we just needed a break, I guess. With school starting, it just seemed like the right moment.

Plus for me... answer to where have we been is: about four or five thousand miles away! My family is just back from a gigantic, eighteen day trip to Europe. It's the longest vacation we've ever taken, and that includes our honeymoon! Our friends got married in a tiny town in Tuscany called Loro Ciuffena.


After a week's worth of great food, fantastic wine and even better company (there were about eighty people who came over for the festivities), we went traveling in Florence, Venice and London.

Among other things, some trip highlights included the kids dancing to a street harpist in the medieval town of San Gimignano, a trip in the London Eye (giant ferris wheel over the Thames), and a meeting of the minds between me and my daughter with Tony n' W (now that has a nice ring to it--Tony and W's wedding or something?) at Madame Tussaud's. We even got halfway through the Harry Potter Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross train station (at least the luggage cart did.)
