The great thing about the pizza is the wonderful reminders from our trip. After many long, exhausting days we would arrive back to the wonderful Chez Lando and be free to spend the rest of the evening as we choose. I think with the stress of the days we fell into a routine that was so comforting. We could have eaten at the hotel restuarant or ordered room service but we just never tried that. Almost always we would head back with our best friends, the Stengels, to our adjoining rooms to clean up and discuss what kind of pizza for the night. Then Jeff and Dillon would head out for the walk to the wonderful Sole Luna to pick up the pizza. While they enjoyed the walk, the time to chat and the people watching, Adrienne and I really enjoyed the hotel. We would sit in the Stengels room usually, as we could see the courtyard from there and the guys coming, and just visit. We could just talk about the day, the frustrations and the joys. And best of all we could watch the kids play. For over 2 years we dreamed about the times when our kids would be together, hoping but never truly believing we would be blessed with traveling together. But here we were. And it was awesome. Some of the best parts of the entire trip were those evenings watching the kids play. Dillon and I have been friends for over 24 years and Jeff and Adrienne a bit less so this was such an amazing gift from God. We are so grateful for these wonderful friends and I loved remembering those evenings last night while we enjoyed our much inferior pizza.
Here is our sweet Isaac and the beautiful Addy playing in the hotel room:
Looking forward to the day all 7 of our kids will play together, and maybe we will have some pizza that evening as well.
