We did it! We scratched off another item off our bucket list of things to do and places to see. Let me rewind to beginning of the 2017 Chris and I entertained around with the idea of going on another European trip. What places were we considering? well...we though Iceland would be amazing, Ireland, Italy, London.....the list went on. Well this was just an idea until we started talking about it some more. We some how narrowed it down to Italy. We kept talking about Italy and Rome and all the history and the food oh the food. This idea died as quickly as it became an idea until fast forward to July. I get a phone call from Chris while I was at work. "Honey he chimes I booked us a trip to Italy" I didn't believe him. This is not in his nature to do. Chris does not spring up surprises let alone a trip like that on me. He never has and I still didn't believe it. "You did what???" I yelled back "Yep December. Rome. Be there! uh I think I died and went to heaven.
So December 2017 we went on our Roman Holiday!! We stayed at the Relais Maddalena Hotel in the heart of Rome. We were a stones throw away from the Pantheon and right next door Lindt Chocolate. I had a coffee shop and Gelato shop on every corner. The cobble stones and narrow streets were something out of a movie. Everything was draped in Christmas lights and twinkled in the rain, since it did rain while we were there. We walked everywhere and ate everything! in the words of Joey Tribbiani "The Pizza? Good!" The Pasta? Good!
I might have also done a bit of damage down Via Dei Condotti (oops)
It was so magical and memorizing and better than you could imagine. I loved every inch of it and it now has a special place in our hearts. I can't wait to see where our next adventure will be in 2018.
