I surprised my niece on Easter with the plane tickets, rather, the printout of the itinerary for our trip to Paris and London. With her initial excitement came the realization that Aunt Sue was going to make her work a bit prior to the trip in the form […]
With the cannonizations this week, Rome has been on my mind as well as part of a few Twitter chats like “When In Rome”. I’ve also posted many photos already on Instagram but thought a post was a good trip down memory lane. Rome in a day can’t be done properly […]
