Joanna,
They turned out wonderful and the your family is beautiful. You should be so proud. I liked how you got the girls upfront and the background is interesting with your grandaughter drinking a cup of something.
I am ready for Rome in May.
thanks for sharing.

Joanna, oh my, oh my. I have been to Italy many times, and I can just imagine the looks your beautiful blond grand-daughters were getting from the Italian boys! LOVED the big sunglasses everyone was wearing. Bringing back memories of those Laura Biagiotti (sp?) ones we wore back in the 80's! I've heard big was back! Their dad is in for something with the boys who coming "calling". And I couldn't help but notice "the pearls" one of them was wearing with her casual clothes!

Thanks everyone - it really was a perfect Xmas "holiday" - it sure helped that my daughter and SIL are very "detail oriented" - they did so much planning and it really helped to make things go smoothly and inexpensively - my SIL did so many small favors to make the "oldsters" happy (kept fridge stocked with wine and cheese that is a big A +++ ) !!! So happy the weather cooperated -

Joanna, I hope I get a son in law just like yours one of these days (I think you said he took most of the pix) I'm already perfectly happy with my one daughter in law and the way she just had a great time visiting with the grandparents! Joanna, you have a lovely family, and are so lucky they love traveling with you and Tony. Who wouldn't? We all need to remember to stay "young" for these outings!

Joanna,
Great photos! Your report and your photos have inspired Tonya and I to do a quick post cruise diversion to Rome for a few days following TAP.
Thanks! I'm sure we'll be hitting you up for some advice as the date approaches.

John: I'd love to help/share - going back in July post Fjords - we can't get enough!!!! Rome, to me, seems to be one of those cities where people are in love with it or hate it - much like NYC - think the secret is staying in a neighborhood and getting to know "it" and a few others - Trastevere was so new to us and we loved it - again, not for everyone - Joanna

What a beautiful family (especially the young lady in the white down jacket...the granddaughter!). Looks like you got your pizza peel technique down??
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
