\"\"<\/p>\n

Welcome to 2018!!! When reflecting on the past year I always like to think about the highlights of the year.\u00a0 Our little family really had some amazing adventures this year.\u00a0 I would love to share with you some things you must try.\u00a0 I interviewed my family members this year (my husband Phil, my daughter Audrey (age 9), and Luke, my son (age 7).\u00a0 I will of course give you my input as well.\u00a0 Also, happy 2 year anniversary to the blog!!! We really enjoy sharing with you our expertise and hearing about your travel adventures as well. Here we go!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Top Vacation Pants Destinations 2017<\/h2>\n

Phil’s Pick – New York City, United States<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Phil and I had visited the airport in New York.\u00a0 Phil even ventured out to get a slice of pizza during a high school trip to Europe, but we had never really been to NYC until one snowy day in March\u00a0 2017.\u00a0 We made the first flight out after a huge storm.\u00a0 Snow was everywhere and it was quite beautiful, but nothing prepared us for the emotion that came over us when we took the subway into the city and walked out on Time’s Square.\u00a0 We had seen it in movies before, but there is nothing quite like being there in person.\u00a0 Read more about how to take a trip to this magnificent city here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Audrey’s Pick – Pompeii, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Audrey chose an ancient city we visited this year.\u00a0 The New York City of its day, if you will.\u00a0 Visiting Pompeii was like stepping back in time.\u00a0 The city is a perfect picture of what life was like over 2,000 years ago.\u00a0 It obviously had an impact on my girl because she often talks about what she learned visiting the city.\u00a0 We loved exploring the city on our own and doing research before and after we went.\u00a0 Also, there were plenty of tour groups walking around the city, and we heard some tidbits of information here and there, but sometimes just educating yourself makes it more personal.\u00a0 We had quite the day walking around, even in the July heat.
\nMVP (My Vacation Pants) Tip: Bring water, we thought we could buy some right inside, but we actually had to walk around a bit to find a restaurant, and we only found one water fountain.\u00a0 It happened to be a faucet style one, so we had to fill our hands with water and drink from our hands (or from a hat.\u00a0 Grandpa did that, LOL).<\/p>\n

Luke’s Pick – Middelfart, Denmark<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I know my son is not the only 7 year old that is delighted by bathroom humor, but we had to stay in this town while in Denmark.\u00a0 What ended up being a kitsch thing to do ended up being a lot of fun.\u00a0 We stayed at a fantastic hotel called the Milling Hotel Park<\/a> and had a lovely stay.\u00a0 We had a lot of free soft ice (soft served ice cream) and enjoyed the fresh air out on the patio.\u00a0 I understand why Luke picked such a quaint Danish town as his top destination of 2017.\u00a0 If you want to explore some Denmark countryside I wouldn’t look any further than the town of Middelfart.<\/p>\n

Janelle’s Pick – Venice, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have seriously never been somewhere quite like the magical Venice.\u00a0 Yeah, we did the tourist thing, but we also did our own thing too.\u00a0 We found some secret pasta served in Chinese take out containers. We walked through hidden alleys and found little gems throughout the city.\u00a0 We took a morning Gondola ride through the hidden canal.\u00a0 We also took the train in to the city, so we didn’t have to worry about finding a place to park our car outside the city.\u00a0 Of course, we had to see the library (which in real life is a church) where Indiana Jones found the X that marked the spot to his treasure hunt.
\nMVP Tip:\u00a0 I am not a person who wakes up early.\u00a0 I love my sleep, but this one is worth waking early for.\u00a0 We got to the city about 8:00 in the morning and it was empty.\u00a0 I can’t quite explain the feeling, but it was like we were on the set of a movie starring us!!!<\/p>\n

Top Hotels of 2017<\/h2>\n

Phil’s Pick – I Silos Bed and Breakfast, Seriate, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is just something special about the bed and breakfasts throughout Europe, but this one was just too cool not to mention.\u00a0 Yes, they used to be silos, but have been converted into a bed and breakfast.\u00a0 The host family (who was there to greet us, but didn’t live on the property) were just good people.\u00a0 They put out a spread because we were leaving too early to have breakfast.\u00a0 We had to catch a plane and this place was 11 minutes from the airport.\u00a0 They taught us how to play soccer and we shared some wine with them.\u00a0 We also met a family later that night that had a little girl who played with Luke and Audrey.\u00a0 Listening to them play just made my heart happy.\u00a0 They didn’t speak the same language, but in this case, kindness and fun are universal languages.\u00a0 I mean, how cool is this place?! We stayed in a Silo!!! Not many people can say that.<\/p>\n

I Silo Website<\/a><\/p>\n

Audrey’s Pick – Ny Kirstineberg Gods Bed and Breakfast, Nykobing Falster, Denmark<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Audrey is my little princess and this place was just like her palace.\u00a0 The host family welcomed us with open arms and we felt like family.\u00a0 They thought we were from Italy because our last name is Vecchio, but they were even more excited we were American because we traveled from even further away.\u00a0 We had nine people in our party when we stayed here.\u00a0 They gave the teenagers rooms of their own and they let the four of us have a big room with the most plush bedding.\u00a0 Seriously, can we talk about Danish beds for a sec?!\u00a0 They are like sleeping on a cloud.\u00a0 This place was no exception in the cloud bed department.\u00a0 The grounds had peacocks, roosters, cats, and chickens just hanging about like they they were in their own little kingdom.\u00a0 There was also a soccer field, lawn swings, and games to play with the family.\u00a0 The breakfast was made to order at the time we wanted.\u00a0 The homemade biscuits were my personal fave, and they came with an assortment of jams and butter.\u00a0 Also this place ended up bring the lowest priced accommodations that we stayed in throughout the entire year.<\/p>\n

Gods Bed and Breakfast Website<\/a><\/p>\n

Luke’s Pick – Sankt Helene Holiday Center, Tisvildeleje, Denmark<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Luke’s favorite was another hotel from Denmark.\u00a0 This place was pretty unique.\u00a0 I guess it is considered a hostel, although it didn’t seem like one to us.\u00a0 We rented a cabin that had multiple rooms, plus a loft.\u00a0 Because we traveled by plane we didn’t bring bedding, so we paid a small fee and got bedding and towels for each of us as well.\u00a0 This place is about 45 minutes north of Copenhagen and right off the North Sea.\u00a0 We came in late at night, so we didn’t get to see our surroundings until the next day, but let me tell you, the area is beautiful.\u00a0 We were very jet lagged and still managed to love this place despite our weariness.\u00a0 We happened upon a forest full of carvings of Vikings, and the accommodations include a playground, giant chess board, tire zip line, climbing wall, and much more.\u00a0 This place was the perfect start to an amazing trip through Europe.<\/p>\n

Sankt Helene Holiday Center<\/a><\/p>\n

Janelle’s Pick –\u00a0Tenuta Le Colonie, Vinci, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have grown up watching movies set in Italy and was very excited to stay in an agriturismo in Tuscany.\u00a0 An agriturismo is a farmhouse type accommodation that is common throughout the Tuscan region of Italy.\u00a0 I thought that maybe the movies I watched romanticized Italy and that just, maybe, it wouldn’t be as romantic as the movies.\u00a0 Well, I was completely wrong, this place was better than those movies.\u00a0 This place was the real deal.\u00a0 First and foremost, Tenuta Le Colonie is just outside the town of Vinci.\u00a0 Yeah, the one Leonardo is from.\u00a0 It’s small and historical and perfect.\u00a0 You couldn’t quite walk to the downtown area from our villa, but it was a short drive to the town center.\u00a0 The villa has a pool, and BBQing area.\u00a0 The rooms were set up like townhomes with full kitchens and upstairs and downstairs living areas.\u00a0 We had a common area in our Villa that we used to play card games and break some of that great Italian bread.\u00a0 Again, our hosts were very friendly and told us stories about growing up on the farm.\u00a0 My brother in law even bought some wine from the farm.\u00a0 I wish I could have brought home a huge bottle of their olive oil which was made right on the property.<\/p>\n

Top Dining of 2017<\/h2>\n

Phil’s Pick – Dolcezze Siciliane, Naples, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had just come back into the Port of Naples from a day trip to the Isle of Capri.\u00a0 I had just seen some things that really blew my mind.\u00a0 Capri was gorgeous, but we barely had time to eat between the ferry ride back and forth and our boat tour around the island, with a stop at the Blue Grotto.\u00a0 We were starving.\u00a0 We passed this tiny Sicilian place that looked closed, but we saw some people coming out.\u00a0 I think they were closed, but when they saw the size of our group, they reopened for us.\u00a0 They said they only had a fixed menu for the evening.\u00a0 We weren’t quite sure what that meant, but apparently it means ooodles and boodles of food courses that taste amazing.\u00a0 We are talking bread, oysters, bruschetta, calamari, Italian sausages, pasta, and countless other courses.\u00a0 There is no way we were finishing all they brought out.\u00a0 They even brought us out drinks and desserts to toast the occasion.\u00a0 We were freaking out that this was going to cost a fortune since we did have 12 people in our party.\u00a0 Nope, it ended up being about $20 a person.\u00a0 Needless to say it was an amazing time.\u00a0 A couple different waiters came out and told us to say something in Italian, while they videoed us.\u00a0 Not really sure what we said, but it was all a part of a very unique experience.<\/p>\n

They don’t have a website, but here is their TripAdvisor Review Page.<\/a><\/p>\n

Audrey’s Pick – Terrazza Pompeiana, Pompeii, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a warm, but educational day at the ancient ruins of Pompeii, we crossed the street back to our van and saw an advertisement for pizza.\u00a0 It smelled good, it looked good, and it wasn’t too busy, so we decided to try it out.\u00a0 They had an amazing special that if you got cheese pizza is was only 7 Euros which translates to about 8 American Dollars, so most of our group got the special.\u00a0 The pizzas were huge and tasty and a perfect way to end our day in Pompeii.\u00a0 We could see the ruins from our seats on the patio.\u00a0 I guess it made quite the impression on my Audrey because she picked this as her best of 2017.\u00a0 That’s really no surprise.\u00a0 The girl loves pizza and here we are eating pizza where pizza was invented.<\/p>\n

This place also has camping, laundry, and bungalows for rent right across the street from Pompeii.\u00a0 Pretty cool. Here is the website.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Luke’s Pick –\u00a0Bar Quattordici, Rome, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have you ever felt like you stumbled upon the jack pot when you travel somewhere and just find a place that gives you all the great feels?!\u00a0 Well\u00a0Bar Quattordici was that place for us.\u00a0 We actually ate there three times during our visit in Rome because it was only 5 Euros and you got huge helpings of pasta, pub snacks, bread service, and more.\u00a0 The owner was the kindest, most welcoming man, and you could tell this was a place that only locals hang out at.\u00a0 When we walked in with our huge party of 9 he made the regulars move, so we could sit together.\u00a0 Everyone laughed about it, and we felt like were locals too.\u00a0 We had so much fun and felt like we had our Rome dining experience in the perfect way.\u00a0 This was some of the best pasta we ate in all of Italy, and we spent two weeks driving all over the country.<\/p>\n

Again, no website, but here is the TripAdvisor Review Page.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Janelle’s Pick – Galleria Umberto, Boston, Massachusetts, United States<\/h3>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/h3>\n

So yes, each of us picked Italian food as our favorite dining experience, but mine is like a little piece of Italy right here in the United States.\u00a0 We traveled to Boston during March and needed some cheap dining options because we needed money for the rest our trip.\u00a0 I couldn’t believe how cheap, yet amazing this little place was.\u00a0 We spent $12 and we got basically one of each thing on the menu.\u00a0 This place closes at around 2:00 P.M. everyday because they run out of food, and when it’s gone, they close!\u00a0 They ran out of food while we were dining in.\u00a0 Whew! We made it just in time.\u00a0 I was staring all dreamy eyed at their map of Italy on the wall because we were planning our trip there for the summer and a nice local diner came up and gave me all the tips.\u00a0 He said eating at Galleria Umberto was like eating in Italy (where he used to live) and he knew I would have a great time (which I definitely did).\u00a0 So yeah, Italian food is this family’s favorite.<\/p>\n

Best Activities of 2017<\/h2>\n

Phil’s Pick – Popeye’s Village, Malta<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think we were the only people that got off a cruise ship, took a public bus across the island, and went to Popeye’s Village.\u00a0 I am so glad we did.\u00a0 This place was so unique, so beautiful, and so interesting.\u00a0 Popeye, the 1980 movie starring Robin Williams and Shelly Duvall, was shot here.\u00a0 The set is still alive and well, living out its twilight years as a theme park.\u00a0 You can even go in the little houses of the village.\u00a0 We took a boat out to a gorgeous sea cave.\u00a0 We played in their seaside playground and fake waterfalls.\u00a0 My hubby and brother in law even got to be a part of Popeye show.\u00a0 I wish we could have spent more time there.\u00a0 We definitely want to go back to Malta and experience even more, but we sure had a blast spending the day here.<\/p>\n

Popeye’s Village Website<\/a> (very detailed descriptions await)<\/p>\n

Audrey’s Pick – Tivoli, Copenhagen, Denmark<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tivoli was visited by theme park genius Walt Disney before Disneyland opened in 1955, and for one moment I felt like I was visiting Disneyland in the 1950s.\u00a0 There were so many similarities.\u00a0 We did a write up a couple months ago that you can read here<\/a>.\u00a0 Tivoli is one of the oldest theme parks in the world and has to be one of your destinations if you are ever in Copenhagen.\u00a0 Until we meet again…I will be dreaming of you Tivoli, and Audrey will be dreaming too.<\/p>\n

Tivoli’s Website<\/a><\/p>\n

Luke’s Pick – Legoland Billund, Billund, Denmark<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We have long been fans of Legos, but visiting the country that they originated from was a pretty cool experience for this family of Lego fanatics.\u00a0 We also were quite caught up in the fact that this was the original Legoland, where it all began.\u00a0 Check out the post for planning a trip to Legoland Billund here<\/a>.\u00a0 Of the two Legoland parks we have been to, this one took the cake.<\/p>\n

Legoland Billund Website<\/a><\/p>\n

Janelle’s Pick – Blue Grotto, Isle of Capri, Italy<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s hard to capture the feelings I had entering the Blue Grotto.\u00a0 I wish I could bottle up the feeling for times when I need a little inspiration, but this place was somewhere I will remember for the rest of my life.\u00a0 First, we took a ferry boat from the Port of Naples to the Isle of Capri.\u00a0 Then we took a boat around Capri and transferred to a small row boat.\u00a0 The row boat captain perfectly timed our entry in to the Blue Grotto while the waves were low.\u00a0 We had to duck our head down in to the boat to make sure we didn’t hit our heads on the rocks.\u00a0 Once we entered the grotto we were in a enchanting sea cave wonderland where we were serenaded by our boat captain.\u00a0 It seriously brought tears to my eyes.\u00a0 Don’t miss it when you are in Capri.<\/p>\n
