For my first trip abroad, I don’t know that I could have picked a better place! Italy is such an amazing country with a wealth of great history, art, food, and (of course) wine! I was so excited when my husband and I decided to travel there for our honeymoon. Our first destination was Rome. We saw so many things: the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and the Vatican (just to name a few.) Click the pictures for a larger view!

We also went to a great pizza spot: Da Baffetto.

We really loved the sticker on the front door – even the Italians love Texas!
Our next stop was Siena, which is a beautiful place that is kind of unknown to many travelers. It was quiet, which was perfect for us after being in the bustling city of Rome.
Piazza del Campo in Siena
One of our favorite experiences in Siena was visiting the Duomo, one of the most beautiful, intricately built cathedrals I have seen. I think the pictures can explain much better than I can!

Last, but definitely not least, was Florence. This beautiful city includes the Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi and the Galleria dell’Academia, which is home to Michelangelo’s David. People waiting to see David stood in a line that stretched around the entire building. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take pictures of the famous statue, but we did get some pretty photos of places around Florence.
