We all slept late today. After some coffee, Lily and I headed out for a walk around the grounds. We initially planned on renting one of the units in the main house, but it wasn't available the very last day we needed, hence our Gate House. By the looks of it, we have the entire property to ourselves for now.

 |
| The oranges were a bust... on to lemons. |
We put our lemonade in the refrigerator until we could find a grocery store for some sugar.
We decided to explore the area a bit. First, Lily had her hair done by her daddy :)
 |
| Lily captured some gorgeous pics of flowers in our yard. |

We set out on our adventure and decided to find as many family crests as possible, starting with the crest of the family of our home. Typical ones are bees, eagles, skulls, sun, moon, lions, dragons, and the horsefly.
 |
| We were on a hunt for family crests. The home we are in was built and / or owned by a family with the eagle crest. |
 |
| The dragon crest |
 |
| The Lion Crest |
We walked to a great restaurant just around the corner from us called Orazio. Great swordfish!

| The gate riders |
We headed out for groceries as the evening cooled a bit, and realized we were at the Notre Dame Rome Gateway and next to the Coliseum (which I did not photograph, as I thought I would wait until we are on our Gateway mission).

| Gia asked me to take this picture as she sang a song to Daisy Harry Potter about how much she missed her :) |

| Home sweet home :) |
