Too Close For Comfort

Allow me to obsess for the moment. I just read last night on yahoo that one of our ports of call from last weeks cruise got attacked and a car bomb went off and killed 2 police officers. This happened in Palma De Mallorca and island of Spain. It is one of the most visited and holiday islands for British and German. I hope the families of these officers are okay. So so sad. Scary things and tragic unnecessary events happen all over the world.

We are Back!

So good to be back home! I just wish the jetleg would be over and done with a little quicker. I am moving very slowly today and yesterday.
We had an amazing time on our trip to Rome and our cruise. I think our favorite port of call was to Villa La Franche where we took a bus up the mountain to this old medieval village called Eze. It was so charming it seemed to be out of a storybook or fairy tale. I remember remarking how it seemed like something we would see at Disney World. When we got home LeeJay looked up Eze on the internet and it said that Walt Disney spent considerable time in a Village called Eze before building Disney. He did an amazing job of getting it close to the real thing!
Well, now it is time to get back to reality and get my house in order and start to get ready for school to be back in session. Less than a month of summer left. Gosh it went by fast! I will try to post more photos later.

Our European Vacation

Rome

We have been in Rome for two days and are packing up tonight to get on the cruise tomorrow. We saw almost everything historical and of interest to us in just 2 days. I think we probably walked 10 miles or better in just 48 hours.
I cannot even describe the power of this place and the grand '"colossal" and majestic size of all of the structures in this one city Rome. It is almost crazy and ridiculous. It is definatley something that everyone would have to experience to understand or grasp. We are having an awesome time! We get on the cruise ship, Navigator of the Seas tomorrow...can not wait! I will hopefully be able to post some photos from the ship. We really miss the kids and Nana hope they are well.

Almost Time to Go.

I cannot believe that we are about to be getting on a flight to Rome. We have been planning this trip for a year now and it has finally arrived. We leave tomorrow to take the kids to Nana and then get on a plane Thurs. morning. I will try my hardest to post pics etc as we are on our journey. Wish us luck!
