It's been a long (but fun) week! I had family visiting Tuscany, throwing down the gauntlet: how do you entertain three children between the ages of 6 and 9 in a foreign country where the only thing they care about is PIZZA and riding their bikes?
Well long hauls in the car are to be nixed - at Discover Tuscany I learned you need to incorporate fun things in the itinerary in order to help keep their attention. Thankfully I knew of a lot of places that let me combine their passions with cultural events - how about biking along the wall at Lucca or eating pizza at a restaurant where the wood burning stove is open to all to watch?
My sister was able to enjoy the medieval streets of San Gimignano, a great little Tuscan towns , while the kids ran up and down the alley ways and in and out of arched doorways. San Gimignano was a special treat all the way around, maybe just a bit of a road trip, but once we parked and started to climb into this historic town we were able to find pastry shops, gelato shops and lots of places with gadgets that will distract their attention long enough for the adults to absorb the unique atmosphere that this place offers the curious tourist.
