When we were in Italy we visited some of the Tuscan Hills towns, including Volterra, certainly familiar to all the Twilight fans out there. I didn't put the two together...until we got there and this village is definitely milking the New Moon notoriety for all it's worth. We opted not to go on the New Moon tour, but we kept our eyes open for vamipires, none the less.
Jaxon was pretty excited about this Etruscan gate, if only for the fact that it was made out of volcanic rock. He is obsessed with volcanos right now (along with earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, and most natural disasters). I had really wanted to take him to Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii, but Daniel thought I was getting a little out of control (we tend to do that). Unfortunately this was the closest Jaxon got to a volcano this trip.
The Roman ampitheater and a little pellet gun ball that Jaxon was much more excited about.
Playing at the archeological park with the Medici palace in the background.

The ancient skyline of San Gimignano. The nobles built these towers to hide in during raids.
They were really excited about the Christmas tree. And all the puddles....
Playing on the well in the village square. 
I can't believe you passed on the tour, Edward will be so disappointed. That's a cute picture of Jaxon laying in the grass. Now I don't have to look at your blog and be jealous - SEE YOU SOON!!!
