Florence is amazing! We have the biggest tourists and spent all day at
the museums... I even snuck in my camera when we weren't allowed!
The first thing we saw was Michelangelo's statue of David at the Accademia Gallery. It was so much bigger than I thought! I didn't know it was David from 'David and Goliath' until I saw that he was holding a sling.
After that we went to the Uffizi Gallery, filled with amazing paintings. My favorite was Botticelli's famous painting, "The Birth of Venus." It was so beautiful.
After touring the museums, we walked around and heard music coming out of the door of a building. When we walked inside, we found ourselves in the most beautiful church I have ever seen! It was dark except for the light that came in through the stained glass windows and dozens of candles burning all around inside the structure. It was really breathtaking! My mom is so dramatic -- she actually cried!
After we left the church we went for a carousel ride (so much fun) and just explored the local marketplace. There were so many people everywhere, it was great!
If you ever find yourself in Florence, here are my suggestions for the top five things you must do while you are there:

1. Visit the Uffizi and Accademia galleries (and fit in the Museum of San Marco, if you have more time)
2. Go to the opera!
3. Go chocolate and wine tasting in the nearby Tuscan countryside.
4. Take a bike tour of the city and stop off at the cathedrals, especially the famous Duomo church.
5. Take an Italian homemade pasta cooking class (yum!)

OMG. you went to Florence i was there too. and i find it AMAZING that you got a picture of "the David". i also agree with you that it is such an amazing placee!!!. unfortunately i wasnt able to see the inside of the duomo because i was sick the day of the tour with the group of people i came with. but i did stay at a hotel only blocks away from the duomo so i was always able to go look at the beauty of it everyday i was there. the pics you have of the view are great but i have even more amazing ones..not to brag.hehe. and according to your checklist.. i did basically everything. but i'm a huge fan of you and your family's show and i think you and Reggie make a CUTE COUPLE.. marraige and a big happy family. would work perfect for you two.
-lots of love from Keyarra

Hey Kim! I went there in 2002 and it was amazing. I'll never forget it! How did you manage a picture of the statue of David? When I went there were guards watching out every move. You're lucky to get one, I had to buy the museum book to get one. Im glad you enjoyed it. Italy is definitly a place everyone should experience at least once in their lives. Tell you mom don't worry she's not the only one who cried when walking into the churches there. I got teary eyed also. :)

Hey Kim!
Just wanted to tell you that my best friend and I go to florence every single year and we totally LOVE it.. it's amazing! Another thing you HAVE to do in Florence is to go to the IL CAFFÈ at the PIAZZA PITTI for having dinner.. it's just amazing!
Did you also visit Siena? It's very nice, too!

You look gorgeous with Reggie <3
Have a safe trip!

Michelangelo's David is not from the Bible, he was Michelangelo's lover...just thought you should know.
JOHN says: | Reply
Those pictures were so beautiful. My family is from there but I haven't had a chance to visit - financial struggles :(
I think the number 1 thing to do in Florence would definately be Reggie!! Now that I think about it, that would be true anywhere!!
Hope you continue to have a safe and beautiful life - shine on and keep up the great work!!

You're such a lucky person. God has blessed you abundantly! I can only imagine going on a family vacation...simply can not afford it..especially with 4 kids. I went to school to study the tourism industry but took a government job instead and didn't graduate. Now I wish I did to get the traveling benefits. ITS SO DARN EXPENSIVE! I admire you...take care and may God continue to bring blessings your way.

I'm looking for the name of the trivia game the family was playing at the end of an episode I happened to watch. They were on a vacation and there was a lot of arguing and crying. And everyone made up at the end and had a family night.

I Loved Florence but honeslty found alot of the people to be very nasty and rude. I'm American and felt alot of them had something against Americans. I traveled all over Europe but found them there to be the nastiest. I'm a stylish pretty Nyer so i couldnt believe it/ So may dirty looks//
But the city is nice..hope you didnt have any rude bother you;

I just don't understand why people come to your website and display such hate. This world is full of jealous people. What are they gaining by being vicious to others who have done no harm to them. It is very disrespectful to come to Kim website and trash her and her family. Just as you have feelings they have feelings too. Do yourself and Kim a favor and stay off her site. If you have nothing positive to say say nothing at all. TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED......
Kim congratulations to you and Reggie. I am extremely happy for you both....You have officially turned me into a Saints fan...GO SAINTS, THIS WILL BE AN AMAZING YEAR FOR REGGIE...
CONGRATULATINS AGAIN TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUPLE IN HOLLYWOOD......

The birth of venus is my all time favorite painting. I went to the museaum of Uffizi just because of it and the pure majesty and size of it I couldnt stop looking at it I actually ached to leave it.
