Ok, I'm sorry but I have to brag a bit. God has blessed me with the best family.This past week, the Laux's and Gram came to Roma and I am so glad that they did. Not just because every meal, every gelato, and every taxi ride was paid for (that was an added benefit) but because it was so good to see them. It was so much fun being the tour guide. Don't think being a tour guide is easy... it is quite hard leading your family around a big city. But I really enjoyed it.
I was able to surprise them at the airport upon their arrival and the reaction I received was priceless. Kelsey looked at me for a few seconds and then realized that it was me. And once she realized, Mom, Dad, and Gram realized as well. They were so surprised. What I thought was interesting about the week was the amount of Italian and the amount of architecture history that I have learned since being in Rome. I'm not sure if it was the circumstances where I knew I needed to step up and help my family get around and get what they needed but somehow my Italian kicked right in. Overall, it was just a great week and one that I know I will remember and I hope my family will remember.
First purchase in Italy, Dad's hat...
Only the best Gelati in Roma for my Family.
Kelsey always had shopping bags in her hands... In Italian we would call her Principessa.
Mom, Kelsey, and Gram throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain for luck!
