cincue terre, via dell amore

Since I am kind of a romantic at heart...I LOVED the walk of love

putting your initials on a lock and tossing the key

and declaring your love on the wall with graffitti...I wish I would have had spray paint (or at least a sharpie!)

PORTOFINO-I am head over heels

This is one of those places that truly is as Magical and Magnificent as the pictures.

Even more magical with these lovely companions.

Dolce & Gabbana's second home. Wow...LUCKY!

Jane cant wait to go back...I dont blame her!

Rome Highlights

wouldnt be a trip to Rome without this

the Swiss Guard takes on a new meaning after Angels & Demons

Amazing

european children's clothing...if only I were a millionaire or a really really good seamstress!

Lip Gloss Diva!

Try to pry lip gloss out of her hand, once she's got it. Not an easy task! She keeps applying over and over again to the general vicinity of her lips!

Car-beaching

Rob had a couple of days off so we went to the beach! It was so funny to be able to drive our car right on the beach and plant ourselves in front of it...actually, it was really convenient!

Jane's first time to the beach!

I think she loved hearing the waves and watching the kids run around.

They played hard! The water was like a warm bath...literally, and they played and played in the waves and sand.

after a long day at the beach...

We had to eat some fried red drum fish sticks at Snoopys...

(out on the water)

Then, eat some icecream at SCOOPYS!

The kids were so excited to sleep together in the hotel...they try to have sleepovers at home, but they never go to sleep!

Bird Watching

sometimes I wonder if Bird Watching is in my future...My Poppa is an avid watcher, and I seem to enjoy it too.
