For our first world travel date we “flew” to Italy.

I was 7 months pregnant and didn’t feel like cooking so instead of making Italian food we went to a local Italian Restaurant called “The Brick Oven”.

While the food wasn’t quite authentic Italian food we tried lots and lots of different kinds of pizza and desserts. It was so good and we ate way too much!

After dinner, we made Italian Sodas…

We made them green, white and red like the Italian flag. 

Italian Soda recipe

1. Fill cup halfway with ice and add 3 tablespoons of green Torani syrup.

2. Pour 1 cup of club soda then add 3 tablespoons of half and half.

3. Last pour 3 tablespoons of red syrup and then add whipped cream on top.

Next we drew each other’s portraits while wearing chef hats and mustaches like Italian chef cartoons.

To end our date in Italy we watched “When in Rome” as we drank our Italian Sodas. 

Addio Italy!
