Shoppers take note

For those who love shopping and all things couture, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the place to go. It is probably the most beautiful shopping "mall" I've ever been to. For those who have ever taken kids shopping, you can only imagine what mine were like here. Henry was running around like a crazy person and I was bribing him with M&Ms to try and keep him in one place. Ruby kept asking me how much longer until we could leave. Alex just wanted to buy something. Needless to say we didn't spend too much time here.

Of course in this stunning old building you would have to find...

... a McDonald's.

The one store we did go into was Andrew's Ties. Pete's childhood friend James has been bringing Pete ties from this store (is it 4 times now?) ever since he served his mission in Milan. Of course we had to check it out, meet Andrew and let Alex pick out his very first Italian tie.

James also directed us to Luini's, which is just a stone's throw from the Galleria.

Wow...you are lucky...Andrew's Ties and Luini's all in one day. That's it, I am moving to Italy!
