Italy #3
I hope you are enjoying a trip to Italy in mostly photos. I have to definitely jot some things down to keep my notes of this special holiday that I was able to take with my hubby, his sister and her husband for 15 days. It was a great once in a lifetime gift to ourselves because we enjoy traveling and also the opportunity to find our family roots were the best of both worlds. I will be forever filled with gratitude to be able to do this.
Please feel free to share my photos but please note where you are posting them from. Thank you.

Our trip included stops in Lecco, Venice, Verona, Bologna, Lake Como, Siene, Isle of Capri, Florence, Sorrento and Rome. I may have missed a few in between but will give you more information as it comes back into my head. It was a very long and very informative tour so there is lots stored in my mind but it's right at the moment most thoughts are scattered. Every single stop brings back such wonderful memories.
FYI: Don't forget to take photos!!!! They will bring you back to great times and great memories forever.
Feel free to show my photos but please note they are my photos and not to be duplicated. Thank you.
