Vacation Pictures!

Hey Everyone!

I went a little photo-happy and took a couple thousand pictures from our cruise of the Mediterranean, and since I figured you all might not want to go through all of those with me (O_o), I narrowed it down to some of my very favorites from each of our stops. Looking at them makes me want to go back even though it's nice to be home. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone that might be interested in traveling to Spain and Italy, it was a great way to see a bunch of different places in a short amount of time!
