After a few nights in Venice we drove across the country to the military base, Camp Darby. It is just outside of Pisa and a great location to see the Tuscany area. It isn't a fancy place, but it had everything that we needed. We originally thought we were staying in a cabin, but it turns out we got a deluxe hotel room with a kitchen, private patio and grill. It was perfect! We grilled our dinners most nights which was so convenient after spending long days at the beach. The kids loved playing in the sand and jumping in the waves. Unfortunately most days we were there it was condition red, which meant the waves were too strong to go swimming. But the kids could still get in the front part, which is all they wanted to do anyway. We loved being at the beach and not having a care in the world. It was nice to get some color back to our bodies like we were in Okinawa again. Grace definitely has Jason's coloring and tans very nice. Jackson on the other hand was "blessed" with mine..., which burns easily and doesn't tan well. Most days were spent at the beach, except for one day that we needed a break and took the kids to see "Cars 2." They loved it!

She loves to play in the sand!
The kids love to make friends!
We couldn't keep this boy out of the water. He loved it.
Grace really enjoyed being buried in the sand.
Jackson's turn.

Everyday we had an umbrella and chairs to call home on the beach. It was nice to have some shade and take a break when we needed it.
Looking back it was so nice to get some sun and enjoy the hot weather. As I type this now at home, it is high 50's and cloudy. Doesn't Germany know that it is the summertime!?!
