When in Rome...

I am finally posting our last Europe post.  Hopefully we can do this again, we all had a great time!

On to the Rome pics...

This was our view just around the corner from our hotel

The Spanish Steps

Make a wish in this fountain and when it comes true, you have to return to Rome

The boys in front of the fountain

Later that night, the group all made wishes

The Ohlmer sisters waiting to get in to Vatican City

One of the many courtyards

you're not supposed to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel (which I didn't do...thanks though, Kyle!) but I'm glad a few ended up on my camera

A Swiss Guard

The window that is open is the Pope's window.  He kicked us out the night before.  We were looking around and his light was on.  While we were there, the police came and ushered everyone off the grounds and when we looked up, his light had turned off.  I guess when he's ready for bed, everyone has to leave!  Not many people can say they've been kicked out by the Pope.

The middle window is where the Pope comes out and addresses everyone

After we were done at The Vatican, we ventured on over to the Colosseum

Zach was very interested what the guide had to say

The place is massive.  The people look so tiny!!

That was it, the next morning we got on a plane and came home.  As happy as I was to see my boys, I still could have stayed and seen so much more!  I hope we all get to go back soon.
