When in Rome...Part II

My trip with the Make-A-Wish Foundation has finally reached its final stages.  After nearly 4 years since being nominated for a "wish", I'll be flying off to Rome with Mom and Dad to meet the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican this February.

My Mom, Dad, and I will be leaving from Atlanta in early February and we'll spend 6 days in Italy.  I can hardly believe that I'll be traveling across the "pond" as my Dad calls it.  Once there, we'll get settled in our hotel and do some sightseeing before we visit with the Pope on Wednesday.  It will be sooo cool!  How many 9 year old kids get to have a private audience with a head of state and how many kids get a special blessing from the head of the Roman Catholic Church?  I'm pretty blessed.

Please stay tuned.  I'll be making my Dad post the pictures from our trip and I'll make him do more posts so that everyone can stay up to date!
