A Real Parent's Story

A whole day doing almost nothing

The kids found a pile of leaves near the castle moat and played for an hour. The castle can wait. The park never fails.

Read full story

We came for the Duomo. Parco Sempione was supposed to be a quick walk. We spent the entire day. Chasing pigeons, feeding ducks, climbing trees, and a picnic.
