As I mentioned earlier, Tim earned an incentive trip through work. So we spent 13 glorious days tromping through Europe.
Day 1/2:
Travel/Rome (very rainy) (visited Vatican Museum, St Peters Basilica, Spanish Steps, Tomb of the Unknown Solider):

Day 3:
Traveled to the port to get on a cruise boat
Day 4:
Naples, Italy (visited the Pompeii ruins, Sorento and Amalfi Coast)
This was one of our favorite stops. It included a 7 course homemade Italian meal with an amazing view!!

Day 7:

Day 11/12: Venice, Italy
 |
| St Marks Square |
 |
| I was totally perplexed by the hanging laundry everywhere. I kept asking our tour guide about it. I can't imagine hanging clothes on a line that small for a family of 6! |
 |
| We found a licorice store that had the most amazing sweets. |
 |
| Yummy licorice! |
 |
| Our water taxi |
 |
| Chillaxin' in the taxi! |
 |
| We got to see how blown glass was made! |
Day 13: Travel home
We had the most amazing time. Heavenly Father has created such a beautiful world and I'm so very grateful I've been able to see snipits of it! And it was pretty awesome to come home and give all my babies a big LOVE!
Heavenly!
