My favorite things about both Paris and Florence was the carousels. In NYC we have little quarter rides for kids outside of stores, while in these cities there are carousels instead. Beautiful carousels. I just love carousels, there is something so magical about them.

Who doesn't love a good sunset? One of my favorite things we did while in Florence was catch the sunset over the city. On our last night in town we trekked up to the Pizzale Michelangelo to capture a stunning sunset over Florence. We brought a bought of Chianti, pecorino cheese, and bread that we bought from the Mercato Centrale with us. After the sun had set we made our way back down and stopped into La Bruschetta for the most amazing meal ever. We went here on a recommendation from a friend...and I'm so glad that we did. The service was amazing and the food was so fresh. The menu is all in Italian but the waiters speak english and love explaining their meals and menu to the customers. The only problem is that this place has ruining gnocchi's for me...now nothing compares to the melt in your goodness that theirs was.

After spending 5 days in Paris we spent 3 days in Florence. Oh Italy...you win with your food and your wine. For me Florence was overwhelming since it is a small city and we went during peak season...which means LOTS of tourist in a concentrated area. What we found was the best time to explore Florence was early in the morning before all the tourist came our or late at night. Also side streets. Three days in Florence was the perfect about of time to enjoy this city's food, wine, and art. Both the husband and I said that we will need to make another trip to Italy in the near future.
