Summer...so far!

Summer is exhausting.  And ever-so-fun.

Summer is so short here in the NW that we seem to jam-pack everything into a very small amount of time. 

Here are way too manysome pics from my iPhone.  After going through these, I now understand why I feel so spent.  

Summer is...
...portrait-taking...
...collar popping...
...train riding...
...parade watching...
...new bark...
...list making...
...lots of reading...
...new big-kid! bikes...
...tide-pooling...
...jam making...
...crashing...
...car washing...
...playing with dad...
...camping...
...the beach...
...sand castles...
..swimming... 
...fire-booms...
...chalk-painting...
...sunglass wearing...
...celebrating 11 years... 
...table making... 
...friends with cool slides...
...ballerina camp...
...superhero toys...
...cousins...
...knee-healing...

Roma

Rome was amazing.  
It was just so, so amazing.  
Brian + I fell in love with that city.  
It reignited our desire to travel.  It made me want to learn to speak Italian.  
It makes me want to read history book after history book.  It makes me want to drink stronger coffee, much more wine and indulge in loads of gelato.  
Every day.
We had the very best vacation.  
It kinda feels like a dream.

We took a bunch of pictures.  Here are a few.

Taking off child free.  Ahhhhh.

 Our super-hotel under that gorgeous super-moon.

Gelato every single day.

My imagination ran wild seeing this place.  

Yum.  

This place again.  Wow.

It rained one day.  Oh, I am sorry, did I say rain?  Check that--POURED.  And we were in the middle of some ruins with no shelter to be found.  I am completely soaked from the knees down.  And everywhere else as well.  The rest of the time high 70's and gorgeous.

Wine + maps.  Several times a day.

Relaxing.

Throwing my coin in the Trevi fountain.

The Pantheon.  This place...my.

Vatican City was incredible.  So much beauty.

Us.

Us.

 Us + (more) gelato.

Alright that's enough.  
I could be here all night showing you pics of more amazing-ness.  But then I would be THAT person who made you look at every picture of their vacation...Zzzzzzz.

If you ever get the chance, GO TO ROME.
You will not be disappointed.
