When in Rome! Part 1

So that isn't the most original post title, but let's be real...How often can you actually use it?
I could go on and on about the amazing time we had in Italy, but I know pictures are all you really want to see.
Let's just say, there was wine, there was (gluten-free) pasta, and there was gelato.  Do you really need anything else?

{In the second part I'll show Florence, and part 3 will be all about our shindig with The Pope.  Or, "Popito" as my father called him, since he's kind of little :)}
 

Yes, that is a gluten-free pizza. With french fries.  There were tears.

If you look closely the Swiss Guard is definitely giving me a "Pontifical Stank Eye."

 It was sensory overload, living in the US you just don't see so much history and gorgeous architecture with every turn.
And the art we saw?
I don't know anything about art, but I know enough to be in complete awe!

We also went on an "Angels & Demons" tour and got to follow the path of Illumination from the book.  It was my mom's favorite, she had a habit of yelling "Someone died here!" at every location.
I like to think they're used to that by now. ;)

As you can see, we did as much as we could in one week, but there is still so much left to see.
We'll just have to wait until next time!
