Spring Break Begins...

I continually tell the girls that I came to Europe for the three "C's": Churches, Chocolate, and...Castles.
I am still taken away when I see a castle on the side of a road I am driving on, in some of the most random places.  Spring Break was no exception!  We went to Italy for Spring Break, and these are just a few of the castles (mainly the pictures that aren't blurry) that we saw driving down the auto bahn to Italy.


 This one is blurry, but I love how it is just perched on a tiny peak.  It looks completely in accessible! 

This one was our favorite.  It is called Castello di Avio.  I loved how it still had a fortified wall surrounding the castle grounds.  Below there are vineyards galore.  It was breath taking...even on a cloudy day!
