Daytripping

While we had visitors we took a fun day trip to one of our favorite places:  Aquileia.  The weather report indicated rain on the mountains here but beautiful at the coast in Aquileia, so we opted for beautiful.  You've seen pictures from here before, so I'll try not to belabor the blog with hundreds more.  Here's how our day went:

A little bit of geocaching does a body good...

Checking out the mosaics and the crypt (with bones!!) in the Basilica...

Hanging out with a new buddy while we walked the path of the Roman canal and looked at ruins lining the path...

Grabbing a gelato snack on the way to the beach...

Enjoying the sand and the water with friends...

And a bonus air show while at the beach...

To quote our buds, what an "awesome-sauce" kind of day!
