During my absence from the blogging world, I managed to cross off two items from the Bucket List!
19. Visit the Coliseum
Over the Christmas holiday, my mom and step-father came to visit us. They arrived a few days before Christmas then we parted ways on New Years Eve. In between, we managed to travel to a bunch of really neat places, the best being Rome! While there, we saw all the major sites (our feet paid for that) and also took a tour of the Coliseum! It was one of the most bone chilling experiences I have ever witnessed. Hearing about the events that took place in that very arena so long ago and being able to see so much of it preserved was too surreal. Luckily it was an absolutely stunning day when we went, but even that doesn't allow the pictures to do the real site justice!
49. Ride a Gondola in Venice
Back in September while Dustin was still deployed, my dad, my best friend and her parents came to visit Europe. I ended up meeting them at the train station in Venice and we spent the day walking around to all the best sites. After lunch, we decided to ride a gondola! It's a total tourist trap and semi expensive but totally worth the experience. Getting to see the canals by water is unlike anything you can imagine, absolutely breathtaking and beautiful!

Can't wait to see what items will be crossed off next from the list!
