  1. Love the pics. You look and sound so happy-a parent's dream come true!!
    You are doing something besides drinking adn eating, right? Oh yeah-CLASSES????
    Dad and I had a great time at the beach with cousins Jane and Roger. We saw lots of stuff you would like and we hit an awesome seafood buffet. Almost as big as Whale Harbor Inn!
    Jane's beach house is not far at all from here and it's AWESOME!!!!!! we also went to Myrtle beach and can't wait to take you there when you come home. It's not Italy but it's lovely.
    We miss you unbelievably a lot and more than that if that's possible.
    You and your roomies are adorable. STAY AWAY FROM ITALIAN GUYS!!!!!.
    Keep up the great blog and picctures. We love it!!!!!!!
    Love and kisses,
    MOM

  2. Hi Ali
    Great blog, great photos, great to see your smiling face.
    Sounds like the adventure has begun.
    How much is the euro worth to the dollar?
    We just got in from the beach, I of course drove the whole way. we had a very relaxing and fun weekend. stuffed our selves with crab today then drove home. almost time for me to pop out. but proably not as tired as you were when you arrived in italy. Lots of love, Dad
