My Mom visited us for 10 days in the beginning of December and it was such a nice treat to have her here! The sign I made to greet her in the airport!
Milo and I went to pick her up. Kevin had an away game, that Saturday, the day she arrived! We live about 1.5 hours from the Venice airport so I spent most of the day in the car.. Our first stop was IKEA in Padua. She arrived at night so it was too bad she didn't really get to see the drive up the mountains at first, as its so beautiful!

Kevin had Sunday off so we road tripped to Verona! She was able to see the beautiful mountain drive then!
It was so difficult to find parking because it was the opening of there Christmas Markets and a Sunday! Crazy day to go to Verona!
The Gardens
The entrance to the Christmas Markets! Could barely move in there!
Of course we had to get a sausage sandwich its a Christmas market tradition! I still think the best sausage sandwiches are at the Christmas Markets in Asiago!
The Entrance to Juliet's Wall, Statue, and Balcony! Too bad it was so crowded!
We went inside the Colosseum to check it out! This was my 3rd time to Verona but the first time I actually went inside!
This Colosseum is actually older then the one in Rome, although the one in Rome is much larger and more detailed!
Nice time in Verona with my mom! <3
A little bit of The D in Italy. Carhartt is much more fashionable in Italy then the work clothes they make back home!

Kevin had an away game so Mom and I went to Vicenza for a lunch and shopping day! Favorite kind of days with Mom!
The Square in Vicenza!
Love all the arches!
Stopped for lunch at Little Italy and got the Carbonara Pasta! It was good! They were so friendly there and gave us shots of lemoncello and Grappa after the meal, which is typical in Italy!
