First stop:
The David, by Michelangelo.
SO incredible and far exceeded my expectations!
It stands in a museum now, in perfect condition still. Created between 1501 and 1504 it stands at 17 feet tall! My favorite part were his hands and arms. A-mazing! They were SO true to life they reminded me of Luke's. Every muscle, vein, and tendon in proportion and accurately sculpted on marble! I can't get over Michelangelo's genius.
We weren't allowed to take pictures so I got this from the internet :)
Then to the Duomo of Florenze
And inside.
The flash totally ruined the kiddos but I liked their sweet impromptu pose.
The Baptistry
Outside after some gelato.

Yum.
And again, the Duomo.
Capelle Medicee
San Marco
And a chupa chups lollipop for trecking around like such a trooper. We didn't see "it all" but we were thankful we saw what we did with our little ankle munchkins! We've gotta be proud of the little things. :)

I have no words. Wait, yes I do. How accurate were David's genitals? :) But seriously, so so so so awesome you got to see all that stuff. Side note...I can't get over how old Porter looks in that last picture!
I love the black-white-greenish-pinkish coloring of the buildings in Florence.
Gorgeous!!
