babymoon

above are a couple of pictures of nancy's 23rd week. in Feb we took our last real vacation (or mary calls it the 'babymoon') before our newborn. we went to italy for 8 nights! see below for some of our favorite pics. Venice is our favorite as we are amazed at how the city is built around water. of course Rome is incredible with all the history and monuments there. by the end of the trip we were ready to come back home as we were both tired of eating spaghetti and pizza everyday!


baby or not.. no problem for jeff. thank God the timer was only 10 seconds.



we spent our first 3 nights in Rome. we did a ton of sightseeing, trying all kinds of italian food and gelato, and walking! we went all over Rome sightseeing the colosseum, paletine hill, forum, spanish steps, trevi fountain, vatican museum, st. peters, borghese gallery, pantheon, campo di fiori, jewish ghetto..



we made one quick stop at Pisa on our way to Florence. rick steve's guide book calls Pisa a touristy quickie! did you know the other 2 buildings next to pisa tower lean as well, just not as much.



while we only spent one night in Florence, we did both Uffizi Gallery and Academia (David). and a big florentine t-bone steak.



venice was celebrating the carnivale (similar to mardi gras in new orleans) while we were there. it was real festive and lots of ppl dressed up! we spent 2 nights there. frommer's recommended to try the squid ink spaghetti - nancy didn't try it as we were afraid our baby will have purple skin!! haha.



our last stop in italy was Milan. pic on the left: check out the columns inside 'Duomo'. pic on the right: you thought phipps plaza was nice in Atlanta. other than the Duomo and the Last Supper, there are not much to do in Milan other than designer shopping.

no joe

detroit's all star point guard Billups summed it up best when he said in an ajc article, "Every year, there's always going to be some people who don't make it that are very deserving. I think a guy like Joe Johnson, he's an all-star," Billups told reporters in Detroit Thursday night. "I think he's one of the best guards in the conference, and he didn't get in. But I think he's an all-star. "

joe made a late push for the all star reserve in the eastern conference as the hawks finished january with their first winning month under coash woodson (in three years) with an 8-7 record.

marvin williams did not make the 2nd year squat for the rookie challenge neither. the hawks are 17-27 overall and that's probably why.
