Life is a highway… and Mikey’s been waiting for this pit stop. 🏁❤️

Every time we asked him where he wanted to go on vacation, he said Route 66! So meeting the legend Lightening McQueen himself in Radiator Springs made the whole thing worth it. We tipped tractors with Mator, stacked tires with Guido & Luigi and ate at Flo's cafe!

Safe to say, this little guy was in his Cars era. And I don't know how long it will last, but we're here for it! Kachow ⚡️🏎️ by @jerseyjesse

Last time Mikey made it to the West Coast, he was traveling womb-class. 😂🌴

Almost four years later, he’s back celebrating Mommy and Daddy with sandy toes, salty air, sunshine on his face and somehow running the entire vacation. 🌊☀️

SoCal, meet Mikey. 🤍😎 #california #familyvacation #happyanniversary #love #special by @jerseyjesse

To the boy who always has a smile on his face, the absolute sweetest and best heart, and who never lets me sit down for more than 22 seconds in the last three years even when he has a 101.5 fever... 🤒 You are my angel on Earth. #nationalsonday #michelangelo #mybaby #mylove by @jerseyjesse

And just like that… PaisanCon 2026 is a wrap. 🤌🏼❤️🇮🇹

What an absolutely unreal weekend. These are just some fan favorite pics while my interviews should be coming out soon!

I had the honor of sitting down with some of the most legendary actors, artists, storytellers and characters in the biz- hearing the behind-the-scenes stories, the laughs, the memories and the kind of Hollywood history you can’t Google. Some of these people I’ve had the privilege of interviewing and getting to know for nearly a decade, and there were definitely a few moments this weekend where I had to think, “Wait… how have the people I've watched on screen know my life like this?" 😂

I have always loved the stories behind the stories. The people behind the characters. The moments that never make it into the credits. And getting to help share some of those stories with a room full of paisans was pretty damn special.

There were also plenty of moments I wished my dad were here to see it all. I know he would have gotten a kick out of this crazy journey. In a way, the books I’ve written — Baby Balboa and Little Goodfella — have always been my way of keeping a little piece of that connection alive and passing it forward to my own baby Michelangelo. So thankful that my family and my Mikes were able to share this experience with me!

And this weekend reminded me just how much I truly, unapologetically love being Italian. The food. The family. The traditions. The humor. The larger-than-life personalities. The pride. The chaos. 😂🤌🏼

To the legends who shared their stories, the people who welcomed me into their world, and everyone who made PaisanCon feel like one giant family reunion…

Grazie mille. ❤️

Still pinching myself. Still laughing. Still processing.

And yes… I’m probably going to be telling these stories at Sunday dinner for the next 10 years. 😂🇮🇹

Until next time, paisans. 🤌🏼 #newjersey #paisancon #nj #italian #movies taken in APA Hotel Woodbridge by @jerseyjesse
