Italy part 1

Okay Vacation Picture time! I know I know you are all very exciting to hear my stories so here are some pictures with the stories to go with them kinda.
This is the Roman Forum! This was a really cool place to see as when you are down on the ground you can look back from where this picture was taken and see 3 levels of Ruins so cool right?


This is Kasey at the Vatican Muesum, This is the most recent addition to the muesem and its the most modern artwork there. Kasey was special enough to be able to jump the wires and give this HUGE ball a spin, YES it spins
SO while walking around Italy you randomly come upon what you think could be a statue but this is really a Human and they do this as an art, kind of like a violin player sitting on the corner trying to get some money but so cool and they hold very still!



This is me in the Roman Forum!



This is me Tossing my coin into the Fountain De Trevi, By doing this it is said that you will return to this spot sometime in the future.... Hey I did it last time and it worked right? Maybe another time then we will know it FOR SURE works!


So when I was downloading pictures from everyone's Camera's it appears that Jesten and Andrea went out one night and got some AMAZING pictures of the Roman Sites, This is the Pantheon What a cool building!



The First night in Rome we took our Vatican Tour Guides suggestion and went to this Restuarant, The glass piece you see below Jesten's is where they have dug into the ground so you can see some of Anciet Rome, There was no way I would have been able to sit on this seat! Freaked me out!



This is the Roman Forum Agian, I just loved this place


Fountain De Trevi at night



The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Night


This is my Statue Pose (Yes I am a Poser) This is inside the Colosseum


My Mom's Statue Pose or as I would like to say My Mom as a Pretty Pretty Ballerina!


Me and Mom Listening to our very LAME guide

This is Presten and I, Being complete nerds with the Camera while sitting in the Colosseum :)


This was getting REVENGE! If you don't know what I am talking about ask me :)

This was probably one of the Only pictures Grandma came up with herself and was happy about doing :)

This picture makes me laugh so hard I mean just look at Grandma and thats all you need :)


Me and my mom, Kasey and Presten inside the Colosseum



The FAMOUS Pringles Duck Face outside the Colosseum, I know I am a total Nerd!



The Colosseu


If My memory is right I believe this is a little walk way somewhere along the Almalfi Coast Line


So Along the Almafi coast they have these scenes that they use as Nativity Scenes during the Holidays this is what they look like when the put the people in them, But they are all along the coast very interesting and what a fun idea I think.

Me and the Almafi Coast


The Family

Our Day in Almafi was not the clearest of days but still look how Beautiful this was!



So we were told to look at this little rock in the water cause it looks kinda like Abraham Lincoln. What do you think?


And more of the Coast.

If You want to see more of the pictures as we only took a FEW thousand you can go to www.thompsontrips.shutterfly.com and view all of the pictures taken by me and my family. Also Presten and I make a few blog post on our Family Vacation Website as well. Enjoy and I can't wait to share more of my Adventures with all of you!

Movin Out!

So Yesterday I moved out! Oh what a day that was let me tell you! I wasn't really able to sleep in in the morning so I got up and started to get things ready to move, then I had to wake up Kasey so I had the help to get things moved, Then I went to ask my mom if I could use Bessie(her Truck) and she said that Bessie was not a hauling truck she was just a look at truck but I did talk her into letting me take my mattress in the truck. So Kasey emptied out the bed of his Blue beater and I went to pull out Bessie and park her by the front of the house to make things a lot easier to load right? Well on the driveway already was my car, the blue beater and Kasey's Altima... So I was backing up bessie and **SMACK** she back right into Kasey's altima, yes I know it sounds like I am blaming this on Bessie and I think I will stick with that even though I know it was really my fault! So now I feel completely bad that I just hit Kasey's car and I am frazzled and I just don't know what I want to do... I feel bad cause I was no so smart, and I feel bad for Kasey cause he was trying to help me and I just hit his car. So I do the only logical girl thing and start crying and apologizing like crazy. Then I had to fess up to Mom that bessie had been involved in an accident :(. Mom freaked out like we all knew she would although there is BARELY a scratch and its not really noticable on Bessie, on the other hand Kasey's car is going to need a new light, bumper and probably side panel :(. So as you can all imagine I got Shit for the rest of the day because of this. :(. To make the day even slightly worse I was helping get my mattress out of the house and as I was walking down the front steps I fell and got a nice Raspberry on my knee, oh what fun that was :).

On a happier note. I did get some great help from my Brother and Seth which I was very thankful for and I was able to spend sometime with Seth. After getting all moved in and making a quick trip to the store to get some things I needed we realized that we still have a few hours before we had to be to my parents house for dinner, so we went and saw Zombieland, this was actually a pretty funny show and it was fun. Seth is a really nice guy and he treats me really well so I am happy spending time with him :). After the movie it was back to my parents house for dinner which was super delicious, mom had made a jack daniels type sauce with Blackberry Wine instead of Jack Daniels and it was oh so good on the steak we ate. After dinner we watched Dexter with my parents then I went home to get a few things more situated and then off to bed I went.
