It’s been a week since we “moved out” of our Florence apartment and we still miss it so much.

This collection is HomeAway’s list of the Top 20 Castles, all available to rent for a fairy tale-like vacation. Sounds like… Read More
I love to travel. I have a very (very, very, very) long travel bucket list, but up at the top of that list is to stay in a castle someday.
