At the last minute, Tom found out that they were getting the day off on Friday. That meant we had a 4 day weekend for Memorial Day. We had to do something fun! We ended up taking a ferry from Sicily to the mainland of Italy. The ferry is about an hour from our house, and the ferry ride is only about 20 minutes to the Mainland. We visited Pompei which was pretty amazing, especially because DJ and I studied it in homeschool last year. We stayed a few nights in Naples at the Navy base. In Naples we went shopping at Ikea and then spent a day at a place called Carney Park. They had swimming pools, parks, and places for the kids to run and get their energy out. On our last night, we stayed at a kid-friendly beach resort in Pizzo on the Mainland. We left on Thursday after school and come home Monday evening. We made some fun memories together!
