Mark Hansen was turning 50 this year. He thought it would be nice to rent a villa in Tuscany for 8 days and invite 6 of his favorite couples to join he and Laura to help him celebrate! You don't have to ask me twice! We're in!! Tanya, Brian, Jeff and I arrived in Italy a few days early so we could visit Rome before heading north to Siena. We had a fabulous trip with many memories that we will always cherish. Thank you, Hansens!

P.S. Just a head's up for those of you on the trip with us. The photos from our Tuscany portion of our trip start on number 309. You are welcome to take a look at our Rome photos that start at the beginning, if you like, but the Tuscany portion of the trip alone has 745 photos. It's going to take you a while!
