Pisa

So, I know they call it the leaning tower, but it is seriously leaning! I didn't realize how tippy it was. I really liked the leaning tower. We were only in Pisa for the evening as that is where we slept before heading on to Rome, but there isn't much else to Pisa, but I think the leaning tower is enough. You definitely have to see this one in person!












Vatican City

We saw Vatican City in one whirl wind tour and it was a lot to see but it was all really neat. The heat and TONS of tourists were a lot to handle but it was still awesome. I wasn't really happy with my pictures of St. Peter's and we weren't allowed to take photos in the Sisteen Chapel, but here are some pics to check out.











These are the Vatican Walls.






The Colloseum

ROME. WAS. AMAZING! I really enjoyed seeing Rome and will have to go back again one day to see the things we missed. But it was fabulous! A few recommendations for anyone traveling to Rome: 1. Don't go when you're pregnant. 2. Don't go in July. 3. DO NOT take a stroller. 4. Be prepared for long lines and millions of people all around you.


The Colloseum was unbelievable, another site you have to see in person to really understand how awesome it is.










This is the ground floor. These are the rooms that were underneath the arena floor.











Random Rome

These are just a few sites that we saw as we were seeing Rome. Some pics were taken as we passed by in the taxi or as we walked by.



The Roman Forum.









Spanish Steps







Trevi Fountain

Unfortunately this is where my camera ran out of batteries. There were more pictures that I would have liked to take that day, but oh well, we'll go back another day for more! Next time we'll go in the dead of winter!

USO Sesame Street Show

We were lucky enough to get to go and see a USO show and it was super cute. Amber really enjoyed it and we had a good time. Although sitting on a hard floor for almost an hour when pregnant-not so comfy ;)


The excitement is building!



Amber was definitely into it!









THANKS USO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graduation

Aviano held a graduation ceremony for all the graduates from all the different colleges represented on base. It was a nice little ceremony and even though I finished in December now I feel officially finished.







I love Air Force cakes. They don't mess around!



And the best part, Andy made the MOST delicious dinner, steak and crab legs! It was soooo good!

Happy Easter!

These pictures are long overdue but we had a good Easter even though Andy was gone. He has missed both of Amber's Easters now :( But who's counting?
