Lago de Garda: Definitely one of our favorites!

Lago de Garda was seriously the BEST suggestion! We loved the lake and really wished we had more time to spend there. We desperately wanted a relaxing day on the beach/lake, but we are incredibly happy that we had the opportunity to see it all. If any of you ever go to Italy, make sure you spend at least a full day here!

Driving to the lake. The mountains were so green.

On the way we were stuck in traffic for construction work and couldn't stop laughing at the way construction workers dress in Italy. It's not uncommon for them to wear a mixture of short shorts, slippers, and no shirt.

Our first view of the lake!


Castello Scaligero:

Up in one of the towers of the castle.

The views from the towers were amazing!



We found this cute little family of painted turtles in a pond within the castle. One of the babies swam right up to us. :)

Then, we had lunch out on the water.

We saw a boat, which of course, reminded me of Lake Havasu and my parents. :)
