Sorrento

We rented a beautiful villa in Sorrento for our stay in Southern Italy.

The view was  gorgeous and we enjoyed many evening meals on our balcony.

In the distance you can see Mt Vesuvius. Jonah went to bed nightly asking what would happen if the volcano erupted again. The idea that a whole town was buried in ash disturbed the poor kid.

 Enjoying some of the local produces. The lemons were enormous, more for show than taste.

There were not many beach fronts in Sorrento and most were small and costly. We found better beaches in the neighboring towns.

When we weren't exploring towns we were hitting up some of the local beaches.

Josie is lucky to have such great big brothers, they are so protective of her.

We found an amazing local restaurant only 3 minutes from our villa. We enjoyed an evening  all together there and one evening Kathy watched the kids while Jason and I dined alone, major benefits to traveling with grandma :)

We really enjoyed the villa and area we stayed in. Sorrento proved to be the perfect home base to explore Naples and the surrounding Italian cities.
