Italy Trip Day 6 - Laundromat di Italia

Today we ended up making a quick return trip to San Gimignano in the morning, because it was definitely our favorite place in Tuscany. We had intentionally planned at least one day in our trip to do nothing, and if needed try to go into a town and do some laundry to get us through the rest of the trip. As it turns out, laundry was needed, and unbelievably, going to the laundromat was probably the highlight of the trip for Mason so far. Due to some translation issues, we ended up needing to do two drying cycles for our load, which meant we spent almost 3 hours at the laundromat. During this time, Mason was about as happy and well-behaved as he could be – of course. He loved pushing the laundry carts around the room and then staring at the laundry spinning round and round. The only problem was that Mason was so excited at the laundromat that he didn’t nap at all that afternoon.
We capped off our final night at the farmhouse by putting Mason to bed early, and sneaking out of the room to have our dinner with just the two of us. Of course, they had set the table with Mason’s little cup and plate, so we immediately felt guilty for leaving the little man in the room. The guilt lasted about 10 seconds and then we enjoyed our one quiet, relaxing meal of the whole week.
