Rome, Italy

I love to travel and I have been to some of the most beautiful places in the world. I took a trip to Europe last summer with my oldest daughter Jessica, my sister Ani, my brother Vahan and his fiance Courtney, and my sister Takouhi, her husband Roupen and their twin girls Lara and Tanya. It was such an amazing experience. 

I will be posting more pictures of different destinations, but first stop is...

Rome
Rome is a beautiful city full of history. Walking around in Rome, I felt like I had just stepped into a history book. Everywhere I looked there was something waiting to be explored! It was breathtaking and magnificent.

  2. Tamar,

    I really like your blog because it is very similar to mine! Sadly, I have not been able to take too many vacations just yet, but I plan to in the future. Maybe some of your trips will inspire me to add those destinations to my list as well.

  3. Tamar,

    Rome is gorgeous and I will have to put visiting on my bucket list! I really loved the pictures of the Tiber River walk it looked so beautiful I bet it would be so romantic at night! I also loved the picture of the cat on top of the car, I love seeing funny pictures like that from people's trip. In England I took a picture of a cat on a party tent, I honestly have no idea how they can get up on some of those things. I look forward to looking at more of your blogs.

  5. Tamar,

    Your pictures were absolutely breathtaking! I loved the different pictures you took and that you enjoyed your time there. I would love to go there one day in the future. Hopefully I can go and see the same sites you saw!

  6. Tamar,
    SO SO JEALOUS! Italy looks so beautiful!
    I love how you incorporated your own personal pictures of your vacation there.. it really adds a personal touch. Italy is definitely somewhere that I want to list in my lifetime. I think that it's very important for people to travel outside of their own little world and see what else is out there! I also really appreciated the picture of the "Italian" cat. :)

  7. You are so lucky to have traveled to a different country. Sometime in life, I would love to visit Italy. The only other country I have been to is Canada and it was nothing special. I loved reading about your travel.

    I LOVE your blog! Italy is on my list of vacations! I enjoyed reading about your vacation and looking through all of your pictures! They are all so beautiful and I am glad you included your own personal pictures! They remind of me of images I see in movies or books! I like that you put a caption under all of your images! Great work!

    Rome really does look breathtaking! I cannot wait to read your next blog! Thinking about traveling helps take the stress away! :)

  9. Italy is definitely one of the places I need to see on my long list of vacations. I love your photos! They really capture the magic that Rome has to offer! Your photos almost make me feel like I am there in a way. They are great photos that I'm sure build many memories for you! I'm curious to see photos of other places you've visited in the future! :)

  10. Tamar, I love the picture "slide show."
    Sometimes I wish I was born rich so I could have all the money needed to travel the world. lol
    I have been to Italy, but never got the chance to go down to Rome. :( I was disappointed at myself, but I was under other peoples time, therefore, I had to go with the flow. :(
    Italy, along with the other European countries have a lot to offer to the eye. I hope I get the chance to visit them in the future, but until then I look forward to seeing more pictures of your other trips...
