On the plane to Amsterdam
Waiting in the Amsterdam Airport
We started our trip in Romania. If you are wondering why in the word we would visit Romania, it's because Quin served his mission there. We spent 5 days there and had a great time and many fun/interesting experiences. We stayed with a member the first night, a cute old lady named Sora Gorzo. She is the cutest old lady, but didn't speak any english so I had no idea what was going on. Quin did a great job at translating. I am so upset that I didn't take any pictures of her apartment where we stayed. But I did get a photo of us with her and some members of the ward where Quin served. We also stayed with one of Quin's friends that he met on his mission named Gabi. We had tons of fun but it was FREEZING cold there! Here are some photos of Romania.

There are stray dogs everywhere you look in Romania

Quin doing what he does best
This is how much we spent on fries and a shake at Burger King. It looks like a lot of money but is only about $4.00. Thank goodness.
If you ever go to Romania or Hungry, you have to go to Fornetti! Thee best little pastries ever!
After Romania, we flew to Rome. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in a cute little Italian families home. Once in Rome, we met up with Ty and Mallory Miles. Love those two and had so much fun exploring beautiful Rome with them!

First thing we did in Rome...ate some Gelato. Delicious!

We spent two whole days in Rome which I thought was perfect. It was just enough time to see everything. After Rome we took a bus to Venice. Loved loved loved Venice. So pretty!
My husband sure has one sexy body!
Breathtaking Point
Italian Hot Chocolate. Best Hot Chocolate Ever!
Eating some dinner by the Grand Canal
I seriously loved Italy so much! I was actually quite sad to leave. We headed home on Sunday, but we had a 23 hour layover in Paris. (Quin and I decided it would be fun) We were rushed to see the city so that kind of sucked. But we got in as much as we could.
Nutella Crepes. So delicous!
Notre Dame inside and out
A bridge that had locks up and down the fence with peoples names on them.

Loved the Eiffel Tower
So in Love:)

This trip was a success and I loved everything about it! We had such a blast and it was such a great experience!
P.S. Sorry this was the longest post ever with so many pictures.
