You took some great photographs, Debbie!

Thanks for sharing them with us. So - how was the "Girls Only Weekend"? Did you have lots of fun? How did you guys make out by themselves?

Pam, we had a fabulous time. The weather was in the 60's and blue sky and the city was just wonderful. DH and DS did just fine, although DH said it seemed like I was gone forever. DS made we a welcome home banner and gave me some chocolate kisses, but the best part was getting off of the train and DS running to me with his arms wide open! :) Also on the way home DH stopped and bought me flowers, it was a great way to end a great trip! Thanks for asking.

My son is 6-1/2, but he didn't go with me, this was a ladies-only trip. However, my son has been to Rome before, but he was still young enough to be in a stroller, I believe he was two at the time he went. I do hope to bring him another time because it is such a wonderful city.

Very beautiful, Debbie. Again, thanks so much. The size of everything is so big. Hopefully I will be able to go some day.

Debbi, breath taking. I hear Michelangelo's La Pieta is equally as breath taking. I am amazed the things he did with a hammer and chisel. Truely God worked through his hands.

I get very excited when I see the pic's. So much to see in only 15 days.

Looking forward to reading about the rest of your trip. Thanks!

Mamu, I don't have time for a full trip report before leaving for Germany, I will try to do one when I come back next week.

Wow! What gorgeous pictures. :) :) :) Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a fabulous "girl" time, hard to imagine running off to Rome for a weekend! :D It is a nice fantasy though! Goodness, that was a heartfelt welcome home, how "sweet" of your DH and DS. :)
