Review: Italy Family Vacation, Rome, Amalfi Coast, Positano, Sorrento, Tuscany, Pisa, Pompeii, Capri Boat Tour, Gelato Making Class

There wasn't one location that we liked more than another.  Starting in Rome was perfect.  We were in awe walking through the Vatican, Basilica and seeing the Sistene Chapel.  And the Colosseum was amazing along with all the ancient structures.  Florence was so welcoming.  Shopping was fun and taking the pizza and gelato making class was a highlight for the family.  Seeing The David statue and our day trip to Pisa and Tuscany were quite an experience.   We stopped and had lunch at a private estate in Tuscany that felt like something out of a movie.  The lunch was amazing and the tour of the vineyard, olive press and gardens where we picked fresh cherries to snack on was unforgetable.  The time in Sorrento was equally fun.  Awesome restaurants, friendly people and fun shopping.  Exploring Pompeii was so interesting and then the tour of the Amalfi Coast was breathtaking with all the vistas.  From Rovello, Amalfi and Positano, each town had it's own unique and quaint charm.  The trip to Capri was icing on the cake.  Taking the cable car to Ana Capri and enjoying a convertible ride back down the mountain was fun and had amazing panaramic views of the ocean.  My son went swimming in the Blue Grotto and was probably a highlight for him.   We logged 5-6 miles a day walking all over the country.  But, given we had a two gelato a day consumption, it paid off as we broke even on the weight gain for the trip!
