Amy Jackson is beating the summer heat the right way, by taking a trip to Sicily with her fiance Ed Westwick and son Andreas. In a carousel of pictures dropped on Instagram, the actress documented her time spent in the “Sicilian Heaven”. The first snap featured the mother of one soaking some Vitamin D at a beach. She planted a kiss on Andreas' cheek. An artistic glimpse of what appears to be an antique store also made it to the album. Amy and Ed enjoyed a lovey-dovey moment, followed by a cruise ride in the glistening waters with their munchkin. Clear skies, lush greenery, and gushing rivers dominated the picturesque destination. The family also hopped onto a fun helicopter ride.
