Italy



Alli got her own seat on the plane from Poland to Italy (what a big girl!)



She caught a short nap during the flight.



Our first meal in Italy was...pizza of course!



Trevi Fountain was beautiful



Allison loved the scenery on the train ride to Pompei



She made friends everywhere she went, even on the train (the little girls didn't speak any english)
