Pictures... finally!

I was going to post some pictures from our Europe trip.  How do I just pick a few "highlights?"  We did not have a day where we just rested or didn't have tons of pictures taken!!  So I finally decided if anyone REALLY wants to see the rest of our pictures (other than what I share on here), you will have to visit us or make time for us to come visit you!  Then we can share more of our pictures... and promptly put you to sleep! :-)
I was asked by several people how our vacation was about 2 weeks after we had gotten home.  By that time I was back in the full swing of reality (it took the full 2 weeks!) and I could hardly remember our vacation!  I love going places, I get jealous of people going on vacation ALL the time, but the places themselves aren't as important as the memories we made.  And especially who we were with.  Although we (I?) often feel like time off should be "productive," I think spending it with friends and family should be a bigger priority.  (This is starting to sound weird!)  Not to say I don't like vacation, but I think I'd rather be with special people than go on tons of vacations away from everyone... (Does that make any sense at all??)
Anyway.... here are some pictures!
