On to Roma

 We checked out of our beautiful hotel and headed for the train station.  On the way we stopped for a cappuccino.  This is where we discovered our love for a cappuccino with a shot spilt between us of amaretto in the morning.  What a lovely way to start the day!


Once we arrived in Rome we took a taxi to the hotel.  Again, a super cute boutique hotel.

The bathroom is adorable

Just a relaxed room

After we checked in we started to walk around and found a museum right next to our place.  It had something to do with money.  


We then stopped for lunch on the street between our hotel and the Pantheon.  The food was delicious.  We started with artichoke bruschetta.  I had a spinach pizza and Ronnie had pasta fagioli in a white sauce.  It was delicious.  They then brought us limoncello to finish the meal.  Again another thing we found in Italy.  They just bring Limoncello or another aperitif at the end of meal complimentary.  The waiter was a little flirty, Ronnie and I found it amusing.  





We then started to explore Roma!



Pantheon


We then walked over to the Trevi Fountain and the other pastime of ours in Italy, checking out churches and statues of San Antonio!

That night we went by the Pantheon on night and found a restaurant, Hosteria Pantheon, that became a go to for us for drinks etc at night.  Many people say do not eat at restaurants by monuments, but this place had good food, good prices and they were great.

Ronnie's big beer!

We ended the night and walked back to our hotel right down the street in this ancient land.  The next morning we would be off to Vatican City.

Bologna Day3- day trip to Modena

 We started off the day sort of late.  Decided to do a day trip to Modena, round trip was under 17 euros total for us both.  We walked to the train station which is literally like 5 minutes from our hotel grabbed a cappuccino water and apricot filled croissant and off we went.  We arrive in Modena less than a half hour later.   look at the pretty streets of Modena Another day another piazza! But we were in Modena and I was in search of balsamic...a tasting a something.  The first store I went in to had very, very high end balsamic you could do a tasting for a price and the cheapest bottle started at 60 Euro.  This was not our balsamic market.  This was a little above where we wanted to buy and we have tasted the really expensive stuff before.  But then we found a reasonable store.  Giuseppe Giusti offers free tastings of their balsamic at all different levels and their vermouth.  It was all fantastic.  We decided on some i...

This new place is Asian town was a fantastic experience with some wonderful friends.  Ronnie and I got a call dear old friends John, Dave and Dana- from Youngstown and now living in Cleveland- to meet for lunch at a new place called YY Time.  This restaurant is a cool new concept in Asia Town.  You sit and order through a QR code.  Each seat has its own code.  They have street food, skewers, Asian soups, bubble teas and milks so many great choices.  We each ordered an then shared as we love to do.  I cannot wait to return!  Here are the great items we tried that day.   Salty crispy chicken and a fruit bubble tea Rice Noodle soup with braised brisket and one of the specialty crossing the bridge soups.  The noodle soup was amazing.  The flavor of all the broths were just amazing.  My husband and I split ours and It is definitely big enough to split.  And then we all tried a little bit of each others to just have a taste...

GIrls Trip- Alaska

I know know, this blog is all about the fun stuff I do with my husband, but this one blog post is going to be about an adventure I had with the one person I have known the longest in my life- my sister! The trip started with Angela texting one day asking if I wanted to see the Aurora Borealis....I thought sure why not.  And then we booked a trip and here we are. As we were planning I remembered an old friend from my semester at American lives in Fairbanks so I reached out to him for suggestions.  He offered some great ideas on places to go, things to do, and places to eat. Sadly we will not be able to see him and his wife, because they leave for vacation right after we got in town.   So the adventure for me started with a 7:50 text that my flight changed and a rerouting.  I left Cleveland at 1:40 pm and met up with my sister in Seattle at around 7 pacific time for a quick dinner before we parted ways for our flights to Fairbanks (different airlines).  ...
