Rome and Munich 2009

The title of my post cracks me up. Like yes, that was the trip I took in 2009, because I took so many trips to Rome and Munich, I may get them confused. Maybe it's just funny to me. Anyway, here are the photos from the trip. I took like 96 photos in Rome and only 5 in Munich, not as much to see there.

Flying in to Rome, Italy.
On the street right outside the hotel.
The Spanish Steps.
again...
me on top of Spanish Steps.

different view of Spanish Steps. again...
and again....
I really like these stores...Prada.
Jimmy Choo.
I would consider and alley, this is a main street in Rome.

Burberry. FENDI.

A monument of some sort, note the detail of the handcrafted work in the next photo.
amazing. Pantheon.

Swiss guard that guards the popes that have gone on....
Me and my bosses.
Trevi Fountain.
again...
I have no idea where we were eating.
but it was SO good.

just a few of the ga-zillion motor-scooters in Rome.
Historical building.
Monument. not sure...but pretty.
Ruins of old Rome.
which way? oh, that way Cesear, thanks.
Another main street.

I am fascinated by nuns.
The Colosseum.
Ruins.
Ruins.
I had never seen a real Maching Gun. A guard guarding the US Embassy. What a view!

Breathtaking. Hm, what is going on here in Vatican City?
Something must be going on....so I better have my picture taken.
Oh, don't worry, it's just the POPE!!!!!!!!!
El Popa again.

View from the top terrace of the hotel.
One last shot of Rome before I go....
The Swiss Alps flying from Rome to Munich.
A historical thing...
downtown Munich.
I just thought this was neat advertisment....I am such the target audience. If I knew what it said, I might have bought something.
There were clocks everywhere.

The hotel.


I told you, not much to see in Germany. I am so very grateful for the experience and I promise I did get some real work done while I was there.

Until next time

Boys will be boys

Last night at church, Nathan went to follow his daddy outside. I don't think Matt knew he was following him. The glass door shut, and I guess Nathan thought the glass to the right side of the door meant the door was open and BAM he ran smack into the glass pane. Luckily, the glass shattered on the inside of a double pane window and no glass came tumbling down. And we are counting our blessings that we did not end up in the ER and Nathan only suffered a small bloody nose. He kept saying, "that glass hit me in the head". My response, "uh, no, son, your head hit that glass". Boys will be boys!

Fun Day

After opening day, we were able to work around the house outside. Mattie and Nathan entertained themselves pretty good while Matt and I did a few things. All of a sudden we heard the "music truck", what I used to tell her before she found out there was a man inside selling ice cream, (thanks mom). Anyhow...Mattie and Nathan hear the music and she starts begging for ice cream and instead of my usual answer of no, I said, "you can use your money you got from the tooth fairy". She thought that was a great idea and she offered to buy her brother one too.
