Flashback: Italy

A year ago exactly, Will and I were in Italy.  We went for my birthday present and my parents joined us.  We met them in Rome, where we toured Vatican City and Rome.  We hopped a quick train to Florence and a rental car to Siena.  We then went back to Florence, said our good byes, and Will and I continued on to Venice.  Mom and Dad went on to Milan to then return to the States.  It was all a magical, amazing trip and I can't wait to go back!!  Two weeks wasn't enough time.  Our favorite: Siena, hands down.  Below are photos of Rome.  I'll post the other cities later.
