Positano

Today we took the hour and a half drive down to the Amalfi Coast. The destination was Positano, a gorgeous town carved into a hillside rising from the Mediterranean Sea. Any drive down to the Amalfi Coast can only be described as incredible. The winding roads, with steep cliff walls on one side and magnificent views on the other, are reminiscent of a James Bond movie. Oh, and don't look down... some of these roads are several hundred feet above the turquoise ocean below!

After finding a great parking spot, we strolled down the pedestrian streets, kids running (do they know any other speed?), wives gazing into the boutiques, and eventually popped out along the sea. Ethan found the crashing waves to be hysterical whereas Allison just wanted to take in the sights. Margaret had a funny moment when she was in a restaurant to buy lunch... She mistakenly thought a tray of food was free samples, when in fact, it was someone's lunch!

Positano was a great getaway, but we weren't too sad to leave, knowing we'd be back sooner than later!

Just an incredible view!

The four kids take a snack break even though they just had one 5 minutes before!
