In one of our last pre-baby adventures out into the world we chose to hop across the Mediterranean Sea to a place Jyl had always wanted to visit: Italy! We flew into Rome, took the scenic speed train north on Thanksgiving day, enjoyed 2 nights there before returning to Rome for some solid site-seeing. It was a quick trip, but still a delightful feast for all the senses. The photos below tell the story well enough...

| Rome had a parade to welcome us. Or maybe it was farmworkers protesting for fair pay in the pouring rain. |

| St. Peters Basilica in Vatican City |

| Pantheon |

| Our hotel was a bit run down. (or maybe this was the Colosseum... I can't recall) |

| What!? I'm Italian??? YES! |
So beautiful! My favorites... Jyl looking at the Botticelli and the Italian guard dog...
