On July 18, 2011, Paul and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary…on a plane, with both our mothers, and our 16 year old niece.  No worries, we did the traditional “eat a piece of the cake that’s been absorbing the flavors of your freezer for a year” thing, then boarded a plane for Amsterdam, then another for Rome.  My husband deserves a medal for this trip, along with some much needed golf time with the boys. Four women and three European cities later and he still loves me, and our mothers, and our niece.

I plan to blog this trip by city-first Rome, then Florence, and concluding with Venice. Stay tuned for all the details, including some amazing views of “la dolce vita”.
