Lunch in Pisa and time to go home.
We made it to Pisa just around lunch.
There wasn't much to do there and we have to head back to Florence again
to catch our train to go home.
So sad to end our weekend trip.
But, I was ready to come home.
Before leaving Pisa we walked around and find a restaurant to sit down and have some lunch
So beautiful here in Pisa.
The weather was perfect too!
We picked this restaurant just around the corner called "Tamoso Pisano Ristorante."
We had couple of drinks and I had lasagna.
I usually get Seafood Pasta and I decided to have something else.
This restaurant is good!
You would think that their price would be crazy expensive because their location is just right by the
leaning tower.
But, It wasn't. It was reasonable.
The waiter was nice too.
After lunch we head back to Florence to catch another to head back home.
Good thing we had enough time to get our stuff back to hotel.
The Train ride back was not bad at all.
We know more now so we didn't miss any train ride. haha!
What an awesome experience.
I would do it again.
So grateful to be able to travel.
Italy, you are beautiful and awesome.
Ciao, Ciao.

Pisa,Italy
After our fun day in Florence.
( Florence, Italy )
We headed to our next destination.
But, before we of course!
Coffee.
It was nice that the hotel had breakfast.
We took a train.
Good thing it was only an hour ride.
We missed the train the we are suppose to take.
So we just took the next one.
And we made it!
Ciao Pisa!
So so cool to be able to come here.
There wasn't much to do there but it was still so cool to see it.
Lots of travelers trying to get their pictures trying to lean on that building,
It was kind of funny to see! haha!
I had a great time.
We were there for probably less that 2 hours.
Then we stopped by for lunch!

Hard Rock Cafe Florence
Our trip in Florence has been so awesome
Our trip won't be complete though without trying amazing food the city has to offer
Italian food would be awesome.
But, I found on Trip advisor that there's Hard Rock Cafe.
I do miss amazing American burger so we had to go!
I'm so glad we did.
Just like any other restaurant.
We had to wait until it opened.
Around 6 pm.
I'm so glad we didn't need reservations.
We started with some Appetizer platter and drinks.
Definitely American!
It was amazing!
The burger I had was so good.
I wish I can remember what it's called.
If you are craving for American food, Hard rock Cafe is definitely a good choice.
After dinner we head back to the hotel.
Need rest for our next destination.
Ciao,Ciao!

Florence, Italy
Last weekend, We went for an adventure and went to Florence!
We took a train and it was so much fun.
It was definitely not as perfect but sometimes its the way to learn things.
You just have to go for it, be flexible and not worry so much.
We made it in Florence before lunch and I'm so glad that we got to check in right away.
We stayed in a hotel called S.Giorgio olimpic and it was right outside the train station.
It was perfect because we didn't have to walk 30 minutes with our luggage and babies.
It was about 5 minutes walk.
After relaxing for a little bit we went out to explore Florence!
The walking around was not bad.
Just like any other Italian cities it was a little bit busy.
But, It's beautiful everywhere!
The walk to the Pizzale Michelangelo was a bit struggle for us since we had stoller with us.
But, it was worth it.
It was beautiful.
I definitely recommend going here if you are going to Florence.
You can see the whole Florence up here and the weather was perfect too.
After our walk at the Piazza we took a little break and had drinks!
How good this drink look?
Spritz is one of my favorite drink these days and this is probably the fanciest Spritz I've had so far.
We continued walking and one thing I noticed about Florence is that..
You don't even need to go inside museums.
The whole city is like museum.
Statues every where.
It's just amazing!
The Piazza
The church.
Definitely the second best I've seen in Italy.
The first is still Milan Duomo.
Busy streets.
If you like to take pictures with no one in the background
Definitely come out early.
Such a beautiful church.
I stopped by at the Asian store and I'm so happy to find these!
Korean Soju!
It's been a while.
After walking all day we hangout at the hotel
Relaxed before we went out for dinner.
Great day in Florence so far.
Ciao!

In today’s rush...
“In today’s rush we all think too much,
seek too much, want too much
and forget about the joy of just being.”
Pot Roast (Crock pot)
Weekend is here!!
What is your plans for the weekend??
I am so excited for our weekend.
Hopefully everything will go smoothly.
Anyways, Sunday's are usually my favorite days to make Crock pot meals.
But, Fridays seems to be better to make Crock pot meals.
We love having good Friday night meals while watching our shows
and this meal is just so perfect especially with the weather now.
It has been so cold!
I mean who doesn't like a classic Pot Roast.
This is perfect cooked in Crock pot.
Slow cooked, making the meat really soft and full of flavor.
Let me know what you guys think!
First, Pan-Sear the meat.
This is such a good step when cooking meat in a Crock pot
so don't skip it!
Then mixed the Veggies.
Look at the colors! Yum, Yum.
