Italy Part II: Rome

Sorry it's taken me so long to get Part II up- kind of a lot going on (more on that later)! These are very abbreviated looks at our Italy vacation (Lance took over 500 pictures!!) - but it kind of gives you the idea! Rome was amazing, and neither of us had been there so it was really special.

Italy Part I: Venice

We've had a whirlwind of happenings since Christmas, so sorry we're so behind on the blogging! We just got back from Italy (Venice and Rome) last week - to celebrate Lance's birthday and to go on an "official" honeymoon! I'll try to catch up with Part II later on... until then...
Ciao and enjoy!
