Roman Holiday

So we just got back from a week long getaway in Rome with Sam's family. His parents, his brother, sister-in-law, and their two daughters, and his sister and her husband. All told, it was a party of eleven. Poor Sam was commuting from Rome to Viterbo most of the week, but we still made the most of it. I'll let him fill you on visit in his next post. For now, here are a few pictures/highlights:


The entire Savage clan out to lunch. (From left to right: Steve, Lois, Sam, Will, Sean, Meredith, Baby Sally, and Jess. Eli and Emily are hiding away in the back watching a video.)

Mimi Lo and Eli reading together.

Sally is 10 months old and looks like the perfect cupi doll.

Eli followed Emily around like a puppy all week. She took it in stride and they ended up being great playmates.




Sam lead us all on a fantastic tour of the Forum.


We stole away a few moments alone time here and there. This is Sam and Eli splashing around at a water spout in Campo di Fiori, close to where we stayed.

No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Trevi Fountain.


We had hopes of being blessed by the Pope on Sunday, but the kiddies were restless so we had to move on before he made an appearance. The crowd in front of St. Peter's was a spectacle in itself.
