When in Rome...

Finally, getting around to posting about our Italy trip.  Maybe one day Charley will enjoy looking back at this post, and seeing a summary of all the places she went (but doesn't remember!).  I'll break it up into several posts by city, to make it more manageable.

Mom and Dad came out this year for Thanksgiving.  I wanted to profile some of the highlights in this post.
