Here is the Trullo complex we stayed in. You will only find Trulli in this part of Italy and they are amazing. Quinn said our Trullo "looked like a church" with its dome top. The kids thought they were the coolest thing and we loved driving and spotting the Trulli. Our resort had 11 with an amazing pool, vineyards, playground, olive trees all around, it was simply gorgeous. I think my new goal in life is to own a Trullo resort in Sourthen Italy. <3 nbsp="" p="">
We spent our afternoon laying around by the pool and eating ice cream.
Parents of the year.... Dave and I were sitting next to the pool and chatting and next thing we know Leo is yelling from the pool. We ask him what is going on and he said "I just saved myself!" Apparently he went into the deep end after chasing a ball and "walked" back up the slope to the shallow end. It was super scary but also we laughed so hard about how many times he talked about how he "saved himself" the rest of that day.
Our little Trullo, how cute is this place? The place used to belong to the owners grandparents and he was actually born in the Trullo we stayed in. Some of them were used to store animals.
The pictures really aren't in order but it takes me so long to fix the pictures that I will never get blogs done if I keep moving them around!

With the recommendation from one of the owners we went to a little town called Cisternino. The town is famous for is bombetta, which is pork stuffed with various things. During the day there are butcher shops all around town and in the evenings they become restaurants. We got to the town before the passeggiata, which is an Italian tradition of strolling the streets in the evening. It was awesome, there were just local people everywhere walking around. I wish I would have taken a picture but at one point we saw a bench full of old men and then right across from them a bench full of old women. We found a park with a great view that was full of families and the kids played. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip and I am glad we were able to experience it. After this we found a spot to try some bombetta.
The white buildings were so pretty.
Reid was awesome all dinner and so smiley!
Bombetta! It was basically bacon wrapped goodness, I want some right now! We didn't really know what we ordered because of the language barrier but it was so good.
After dinner we ate gelato, explored and got lost in the backstreets, it was an amazing day.
I have a feeling by these pictures that Leo is guilty of Finley laying on the ground!
Too bad the pharmacy bar wasn't opened! Maybe this could be Dave's retirement goals.
The meat at the restaurant where we ate.
The kids were playing the game "pass the pigs" as we waiting for our pork dinner!
The wine was incredibly cheap and good, actually our entire meal which included meatballs, pasta, wine, water, Fanta and Bombetta was only about 40 euro for our entire family!
Our kids yelled, "I want THAT" over and over and over again as we walked past this store, so that was fun.
Cisternino was a great surprise and our day was just perfect.
Spontaneous adventures are good, life is good!
