Our Rome Adventure: Getting to Rome

The drive to Rome was a long one, but filled with awesome sites!!! It took us 11 hours to make the trip and about $250 in gas!! I was almost $100 per fill up! Europe gas prices are not very friendly, but it was cheaper then flying. And some quality family time to boot, who can argue with that?! =)

Our first Stop for gas



Beautiful Church along the way


The Alps were so beautiful!






Lime Trees... I knew what these were because of Farmville! lol






All along the way, we would see a castle, or castle ruins sitting high up on a mountain, and down in the valley below would be a community! 




We saw a lot of farm lands. Every inch of ground was put to use.










We think these are hops plants. We saw them while Jake's dad was here and they were just little things, barely off the ground, but look at them now!







It was HOT HOT!

We went through 59 tunnels on the way there, of which I did 54 of! The longest was 2,254 meters, which is  1.4 miles! I was so close to having a panic attack, but did it!


This was the toll we had to pay to get into the city, that's $67.60 American dollars!

Finally in Roma, Italy

Pretty sunflower crops.

Tiber River

There was so much graffiti everywhere!

Finally in our room, Lexi piggin out on some sandwiches.
