About the Family
Getting all 9 of us in one place at the same time is no easy feat. So when we all made it to Italy we knew the hard part was over. Some of us studied all the books and read all the blogs while others were coming with no prior knowledge of the itinerary. But that didn't matter, the tour kept us together and took care of all the small details along the way. All we had to do was enjoy the sites, each others company, and make new friends. We still didn't manage to take a photo with all nine of us together!
The Family
Kris & Jerry - The Parents & Grandparents of our group.
Corey, Lisa, and Ashley - The "Children"
Jeff & Mike - The Spouses
Landon & Makai - The Grandkids & Nephews
The Californians
Lisa, Mike, and Makai
Makai was the youngest one on the tour at the age of 11 and connected instantly with the teenagers that were also part of the group. Mike has an art background and was eager to see the sculptures in the museums and around the cities.
The Washingtonians
Ashley and Jeff
They traveled from Washington where it's easier to fly out of Vancouver, Canada when you're that far north. Summer break started on a Thursday(teacher life) and their flight was on Friday. Ashley was excited to start summer vacation and be in the sun!
The Alabamians
Corey and Landon made the trip from Alabama where Landon was the second youngest at the age of 12. He is a huge soccer fan and loved taking side trips to see the stadiums where his idols play.
