So glad to be back

Hi there, Weddingbee readers. Mr Corn and I are finally back from Italy and we had a wonderful, wonderful time.

We started out on the Island of Capri and visited Sorrento and Pompeii. Then we had a quick jaunt through Naples to find the most amazing pizza ever for lunch before hopping on a train to Rome. After a few days we headed to Orvieto, thanks to weddingbee reader, Tracinda, who sent us a suggestion to go there a few months ago. We stayed there over night and then rented a car and drove through the Tuscan hillsides to Florence where we hopped a train to Venice where we stayed for the remainder of our trip.

It was so great to be able to go away for a long enough time to forget what day of the week it was. It was also really, really great to spend so much time with Mr Corn since he travels during the week for work and we normally only get the weekends together.

Below are some highlight pics. I hope all of your wedding plans are continuing to go well and much congratulations to you ladies who have gotten hitched since I have been away.

The most. amazing. pizza. EVER!! If you have read 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert and/or Rick Steve's guide book for Italy, you have heard of this place and I can back up their claims!!
