OH MY GOD.
Here I was thinking that I knew how to pull off a surprise! I have no idea how Ryan did all of this without me having a single clue! Not a SINGLE one! I thought we were going to The Harry Potter Studio Tour right up until we pulled up to the airport! I'm glad I didn't pack my wand!!
His poor mother has been brimming with secrets kept for the two of us since like, November. I know she has to be relieved that – for now – we're done with our little tricks!
I took a lot (upwards of 500??) photos with my regular camera, but I also have a few from my phone that I'll share with you here. We had the best time! Pizza every day, gelato every night, the best carbonara KNOWN TO MAN. We could have stayed forever.
We would have stayed forever had clearer heads not prevailed.
There probably isn't a good enough of a way for me to thank Ryan for all the work he put into planning such a thoughtful trip for us. I feel insanely blessed and am so thankful for him! It was a dream of mine to go to Rome and he completely made that come true!
Happy Tuesday!

Can't believe you posted this today. (Semi) new follower here and fellow recent Roma traveller. Just got back on Sunday night! We loved our trip too and we're looking forward to exploring more of Italy. Loved your photos!
ReplyDeleteWOW INCREDIBLE SURPRISE HOLY MOLY! And I can't believe those photos are with your phone, spectacular! Can't wait to see he ones on your camera
ReplyDeleteI love this! Best surprise. Probably would've been better if he'd, you know, organised for me to come too, but that's fine. I might one day work out how to forgive him.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are lovely :-) and you look like a babe. Teach me this 'international travel uber babe' look thing -- I have not yet nailed it on this trip :'(
Ok....while Roma is breathtaking and your photos are AMAZING I have to say my favorite is your face while drinking that beer! LOL! GIRL!! :-) Looks like a fun time!
