It has been a great weekend with our granddaughters. We played with Peyton’s awesome collection of Littlest Pet Shops, did a Pizza and Movies night, built an elaborate train layout with Riley’s wooden train set, and made Apple Pancakes for dinner. Holding the two of them in the same rocker in which we’d snuggled their Dad was a particular treat.
It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
