Remember how we went to Rome???

Well here are the photos!

Rome!

We went back in September and Andrew looks so much smaller I can hardly believe it.

Here we are getting ready for Andrew's first flight. I am trying to organize Andrew's stuff.

John is preparing to be with out his Blackberry for a week and a half.
We were nervous but Andrew did really well on the flight.

After a quick flight to NYC , a four hour layover, and a seven hour flight we arrived in Rome and headed to the hotel.

Arrival in Rome.

Andrew took a nap in a funny super tiny Italian crib.

Then it was time to head out.
John's first priority was stopping for coffee.

We did lots of sightseeing.

The Colosseum.

St Peter's

Monte Cassino Abbey

Lots of laughs were shared.

As well as hugs.

Since Aunt Andrea lives in Hawaii, Andrew does not get to see her often. He loved spending time w/ her on the trip.
We also went to Grandpa's home town.

There Andrew got to meet some family members, pick some grapes,

and visit the cemetery.We had some great meals
but I think the best part was the gelato.

Ciao!
