Roma

First McDonalds in Italy - couldn't resist. But, I ordered fairly safe, I didn't order the fried shrimp or the fried mozzorella/spinach balls.
At the Colloseum - Ben's favorite and highlight of his trip.
The wives of American Family enjoying Pompeii. We are standing on the stones in the road where people would cross so that they wouldn't have to step in the sewage that ran freely in the road. Luckily that was thousands of years ago otherwise we would have had to throw our shoes away!!
Yeah!! My gondola ride!! I realy wanted to do this so we shared our romantic ride with another couple, rode under the famous Rialto Bridge, by Marco Polo's palace and other fun areas.

So we fell in love with our new amor, Roma. Ben and I took a trip to Venice, Florence and Rome doing all the major sites and a few more. We were spoiled by Ben's company and by my parents, who along, with the Jones (who are also amazing) took our children while we were away. Enjoy the pics!

We're back!

Okay, we were out of internet for a long time and even though I went to Jodi's house and my mom's, I always had so many emails to sift through that this got pushed to the way side. I'm sure everyone who used to look at my blog, probably won't anymore, but what the heck. I'll put a few pictures on anyway!!
