Rome

During the kids' Christmas break we took a week and went to Italy! We left on the 1st, were on trains all day, and arrived in Rome at night.

On the 2nd, we went to the ruins of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum:













After lunch, we climbed the Spanish Steps,


threw coins in the Trevi Fountain,


and walked to the Pantheon and Piazza Navona.

That night we ate pizza from La Gallina Blanca, which was amazing!

The following day we spent the morning at the Villa Borghese, which had several places for the kids to play, which they appreciated!!


That afternoon we toured the Vatican, where the Sistine Chapel was the main thing we both wanted to see. It is truly amazing.




Then we went inside St. Peter's Basilica

Rome at night:

We had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.
