... traveling with the fam in Pisa

Once upon a time, there was a little Italian town that didn't get any attention because its brothers and sisters were much bigger and much prettier.  Little Pisa had to watch as it's siblings got all of the praise.  Its older sister, Roma, got the Pope and the "Da Vinci Code."  


Its older brother, Pompeii, got volcanos.  


Its younger brother, Sicily, got a fancy clock and the mafia.  


Pisa had nothing to brag about.  But all of that changed when one day, Blake and Rachel realized that they could help poor little Pisa.  They realized that Pisa needed something that the other siblings lacked, something that even defied the very laws of physics.  Blake and Rachel knew exactly what to do - they spent the whole day pushing on Pisa's otherwise ordinary tower.  They pushed and they pushed (don't be confused by the smiles on their faces - it was hard work).  



They even enlisted the help of strangers, like the weird guy in the white t-shirt standing behind Rachel who didn't quite understand where he was supposed to push.  After a long day of strenuous work, Pisa finally had something to brag about - a leaning tower.  



Shortly thereafter, people started to travel from all around the world, even Washington D.C., to see the leaning tower of Pisa.
