italia: the experience.

here are some pictures from my amazing italian vacation with my amazing family-in-law.  (pictures are going on a year old by now..hard to believe...but they are still amazing.)  and no...this is not where baby deRoo was created, though that's none of your business anyway.  but since we get asked that a lot i thought i would go ahead and clear the air.  

italy was perfect.  i highly recommend it.  go there!

italy bound.

did i mention that i am going to italy?  like, today. 

i know, i know, i should have told you sooner. 

it will just be a quick tour de italia for the deRoo clan.  (mark, rox, ingrid, hillary, taylor & this lucky girl.) 

and i can hardly wait. 

although i will miss my mom's holiday feast, this year i am thankful to be spending thanksgiving in italy. 

not eating turkey! 

and i am thankful in advance to the italians for their generosity as they allow me to eat their pasta, drink their wine and savor their ohsofine gelato! 

i hope they know what they are getting themselves into when i step off that plane!

so for the next 6 days i will be here.  here.  here.  here.  

and here:

and eating this:

rome, florance and venice, here i come. 

architecture. history. art. fashion. romance. culture.

did i mention fashion? 

oh yeah, this is going to be fun.

don't miss me too much. 

because i probably won't be missing you. 

no offense. 

it's italy!
