The Trevi Fountain was the one thing I was really looking forward to seeing in Rome. My sister and I have always been big Hilary Duff fans and we loved the movie, The Lizzie McGuire Movie. In this movie, Hilary Duff (Lizzie) went on a school trip to Rome. While in Rome, she went and threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain and ever since then, my sister and I have been obsessed with the Trevi Fountain. I have always wanted to go see it and throw a coin in, just like Hilary did in the movie. When I found out we were flying into Rome, I could not wait to go see the fountain and send a video to my sister of me tossing a coin in. It was something really cool for me to experience, mainly because it was something special to me and my sister.
At the end of the movie, Hilary Duff (Lizzie) sang the song called Hey Now. My sister was begging me to have someone videotape me signing that song and dancing in front of the fountain but ultimately, I was way too shy and it was too crowded to do that. But I must admit, it would have been a really funny memory to look back on. Either way, just seeing the Trevi Fountain was overwhelming. It was something I have dreamt of as a kid, and finally getting to toss in a coin was a dream come true. This may not be a big deal to some other people but for me, it was an experience I will never forget.
