This summer has been especially wonderful for my family — in fact, it’s been our best summer to date. We just got back from a European cruise, creating a ton of memories that will last a lifetime. When Coca-Cola asked me to help promote the Open Summer program, I knew I had the perfect summer moment to share from our recent vacation because it involved drinking Coca-Cola!
One of the items on my bucket list was eating pizza in Naples, Italy (the home of pizza as we know it today). As soon as I found out that we were stopping there on our cruise, I made plans to eat at pizzeria da Michele — which was founded in 1870 and was made popular from the book/movie Eat, Pray, Love.
Let me tell you, the pizza at da Michele did not disappoint, and the moment I sat there with my family, eating pizza in Naples and drinking Coca-Cola from the bottle, was one of my best summer moments … ever!
It’s funny that the simple act of eating and drinking with my family is regarded as a highlight of my summer, but I wouldn’t change a thing about my #bestsummermoment.
