Nonnas, Nonnas Everywhere

After a few days of getting settled into Mesagne, we went to Garrano, Abruzzo for the night to visit Nonna Maria and Bis-Nonna Linda. It's a 5 hour drive up the coast of the Adriatic Sea, but the gorgeous scenery of hundred-year-old olive trees, vineyards for as far as the eye can see and quaint beach towns helps make the trip go quickly. Both Nonna and Bis-Nonna were beyond thrilled to see the princess, especially now that she is walking and "talking" and Sofia wasted no time in melting their hearts with "bacioni" (big kisses) and giggles.

Happy to see Nonna Maria and Nonna Linda

  2. Lisa,
    In the second picture of Sofia, all I see is a little you! =) She's a lucky girl to have so many nonnas to love her.
