This morning, we journey to the Badaling section of The Great Wall and explored a private and very special area of it. The wall is over 10,000 km long and parts of the wall were constructed over 2700 years ago. The more preserved parts of the wall today are a product of reconstruction during the Ming Dynasty. It’s so magical and serene up there, wish we could have had all day here !

A single day in Bratislava, Slovakia in the stifling heat. We enjoyed a city tour & tastes of Sovlakia, followed by a w**e tasting in the dark and castle hike. It’s interesting to see beautiful European architecture mixed with the sterile Soviet/communism buildings side by side. Off you Austria tonight! 💃

We are so sad to leave this place! We had some great times with family, enjoyed all 7 pools, the kids room, the parks, the huge maze & botanical gardens. Located in the hills of the Bolognese countryside, this absolute gem has a vineyard and produces some of the most spectacular olive oil I’ve ever had. It is the perfect place to experience exquisite Italian culture without the tourist crowds. Also, anyone looking for a corporate retreat or Italian wedding should seriously consider this resort. ❤️❤️🍷🍇🍇

Today was the most incredible day! After breakfast, we toured the Medici’s hunting lodge, which was the nicest ‘hunting’ lodge I’ve ever seen haha. Next, We visited a farm where we learned about bees, followed by pollen sampling & honey/cheese. After that, we enjoyed a private w**e tasting of some of the greatest w**es produced at our resort. The night ended with an incredible Tuscan meal at an amazing restaurant. This place is amazing for families, we had such a fun day !
