We were up early and on the bus heading to Florence. It was another on again off again day. There were a few quick stops along the way and the kids were great to make every stop fast. We had an appointment at the Accademia at 4:45 and a long way to drive.

We actually made our appointment early! At the museum we got to experience one of Michelangelo's greatest works, The Statue of David. Then a traditional Tuscan dinner and off to the hotel. Our hotel is a "Villa" on the outskirts of the city. It is actually an old (built in the 1400's) monestary attached to a church. I'm pretty sure it is still owned by the Catholic church but run as a hotel. It is so full of atmosphere, the kids are thrilled. The management is really nice. They had juice waiting at check in and there is a huge game room downstairs with ping pong, pool, and foosball. The secret I haven't told the kids yet is that there are a few washing machines... the adults are getting our laundry done tonight and then the kids can have at it! Eric took all the pictures today and he's downstairs in the laundry. I'll upload his photos when he gets back upstairs
