vacation before school starts. We spent the week with some of my in-laws, including my brother-in-law Thomas, at a villa outside of Venice. It was an exceptional week.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-16955" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-590x590.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="590" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-590x590.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-976x976.jpg 976w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy-565x565.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0248-copy.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></p> <p>We spent the time in Venice, and parts thereabout, and I’ll post more photos of those day trips as I work through them all. But we also spent a good deal of time just hanging out at this villa, which was part of the <a href="http://www.venetohills.com/index.aspx">Tenuta 2 Castelli vineyard</a> in the Veneto Hills. It’s a prosecco vineyard on this incredibly hilly road known, somewhat obviously, as Prosecco Road.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-16952" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1-590x443.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="443" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1-590x443.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1-976x732.jpg 976w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1-565x424.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0242_edited-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-16951" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1-590x443.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="443" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1-590x443.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1-976x732.jpg 976w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1-565x424.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0240_edited-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /></p> <p>But it was just…so nice to get be away and enjoy some Italian countryside. I haven’t been to Italy since I did an art librarianship course in Florence in grad school, and we’d been to Rome before that. It’s just kind of a magic place. We cooked and grilled in the backyard a few times and just enjoyed hanging out here. Much different than our cookouts at home.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-16956" src="http://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0254-copy-590x443.jpg" alt=""
