Anniversary Trip

We thought these were a great bargain on craigslist but ended up being the worst deal we've ever gotten.

Listening to a jazz band while sipping on our drinks (we're the only people in the Big Easy drinking water and Coke).

Yummy!!!

Scotch (how our friends in Brazil pronounce his name) on Bourbon.

The most enjoyable part of our time in the Superdome. (Scott was in the bathroom crying during this part).

A quick drive to the beach. Hurricane damage is still evident. 

What can be worse than Alabama being destroyed and Brandon not able to get his license because his selfish parents were out of town, driving through a hail storm on the way home.

We did have a good time and some laughs in spite of all of this. 

National Signing Day (and last day in Rome)

Pantheon- around 5 A.D. (The original building burned, and this one was rebuilt then)


Part of the Roman forum- around 500 b.c.

2008 A.D.

I know it was yesterday and most of you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, but Alabama football has finally given me something to celebrate - the number 1 recruiting class in the country. On to Rome...

Today was our last day (sigh) and it was a good one. We got to see some pretty cool Christian sights including the prison that held Peter and Paul (I almost typed Saint there) and the actual chains that bound Peter while he was in prison. We also visited the catacombs where thousands of early Christians were buried. It really makes us appreciate those who went before us to spread the Good News.

We visited the largest Piazza in Rome, the Piazza Novona and had more gellato (it never gets old) on the Spanish Steps.

Rick, thanks for the coffee explantion. Susan will continue to drink capp. whenever she wants. And thanks Tracie Orr for helping Bethany with her nose. Hope she doesn't look like Marcia Brady.

It's been fun staying connected while we traveled. thanks for reading and posting. When you wake up in the morning we will be in the air. See you guys soon.

Scott and Susan
