Two Weeks In Italy for Our One Year Anniversary!

 

We flew to Italy for two weeks to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it was  heaven!!! 

First stop: Rome. We stayed at a darling bed + breakfast near the Vatican and walked everywhere, all over the beautiful city each day. 

We loved the Coliseum tour! So much history!

And walking through the ruins . . .


Sunset view from the Spanish Steps

Vatican City!

We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Papal visit and got Pope Benedict's blessing.

We went over this bridge in Roma every morning to start out exploring . . .

Love Rome!

The Pantheon

Trevi Fountain! Made a couple wishes . . .


Loved all the fresh food markets around Roma . . .


St. Peter's Cathedral

After several days in Rome, we took a beautiful train ride to Venice!




We stayed at a cute little apartment B&B that was upstairs in a building and it felt like we lived there with the locals, kids were playing down below in the street. It was BEAUTIFUL!



We LOVED Venice and St. Mark's Square . . .

And on our anniversary night, we had a wonderful Gondola ride before dinner!

One Year Married!

Then, another train ride to Florence!


We had gelato EVERY DAY!
