Engagement Anniversary Trip to Rome

December 19, 2000...December 19, 2023

Happy Engagement Anniversary to us!  We spend a gorgeous day in Rome to celebrate

Our first stop was the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. This has been on my "must see" list in Rome for a few years and it was the perfect start to our day!

The huge Easter Candle

Walking towards the Vatican City

Recreating our famous engagement picture (withe Emma playing the role of the old lady in the background 😂)

The 2023 Nativity theme was Saint Francis of Assisi

Saint Peter's Square will forever be a special place in the Kasparek family history!

Roaming through Rome

Emma was a good sport and helped recreate one of Chris' favorite pictures in Piazza Navona 

Trevi Fountain

Why run to try to catch a train back to Naples when you can enjoy an afternoon Aperitivo in the station? Hugo Spritz and Prosecco cheers with my favorite girl!💗
