Picture of the Day, Rome

Rome, Italy -- October, 2011

Okay, so I suppose this isn't the most inspiring picture of Rome, what with the massive greenish/yellow bus hogging most of the frame, and the rather ho-hum train station not doing much better in the distance -- but look at those lovely ladies!It was the end of a whirlwind week in Italy (and the end of week two for mom and Ken's European adventure), and just about time to send them off on their train to their plane to Ireland. The whole week was pretty surreal -- being with the 'rents in the flesh after more than nine months apart. Wow. Nine months.....that was a really freaking long time! Europe is just too far away from Nebraska, I say! Which reminds me of another family travel time -- on our vacation to California way back when, Amber and I sat in the back of the big van devising a travel machine that would go at near the speed of light. *sigh* if only our plans could have been realized. I could still go home every weekend like I used to do :p
