O’Brien Family Italian Adventure: Day 8

Today was pretty special. We rented a car and drove to Bari, a town on the other side of Rome. In a little town there called Tulizzi, my great- grandparents were married and my grandmother was baptized. Likely some distant cousins still live there too! We took pictures and looked around a bit. We couldn’t go in the Church since there was a funeral.

Then we headed to Pompeii. It was too late to see Pompeii but we saw Mount Vesuvius. Dinner on the road was a bit tricky- we ended up with double the pizza we expected!

Chris drove over 500 miles in one day and the kids were great (thankful for technology!). It was also pretty cool that we could FaceTime everyone at home so they could see too!
