I was excited to finally get to go away on a girls’ weekend. I tagged along with Camilla and some ladies from her book club to Milan to visit a mutual friend. I flew down on a Friday morning in late September and hung out with Snigdha and her family. The ladies were thrilled that I had prosecco (Italian sparkling wine) chilled and waiting for them when they arrived at midnight. We shared a suite so there was plenty of room for the six of us. Jimmy was disappointed that we stayed up late talking about U.S. politics rather than having a pajama party. We took a walking tour on Saturday; we especially enjoyed seeing a ballet rehearsal at the amazing opera house. The Duomo above was also very impressive and made a beautiful view during lunch. The weekend was over too quickly, but we had time to have some great Italian food, did lots of window shopping, saw some art and had some deep discussions.
