Civitavecchia (Rome)

If mommy had to pick one place out of all the places we went to that she enjoyed the most it would have to be Rome! I mean who could resist the Trevi fountain, all the churches in the Vatican, the Greek history too, the list goes on and on. Despite the language, people, food, etc, etc, etc it was just too much to take in for one day. I would love to go back one day soon to see all the things we missed.

I think the girls enjoyed it too although our land excursion was way too long for them to endure in the heat. That day alone I think mommy and daddy lost a few pounds from all that walking, pushing the stroller, and did I mention the heat?....100 degrees+ To make it up to the girls mommy did give in to a couple trips to the gelato shop.

The coliseum where the gladiators fought to the death. Sophie and Hannah were more into the local birds flying around on the grass.

Mommy and the girls look around the seating area in the coliseum. The girls make friends with the worker.

Here the worker tries to shake their hands and the girls suddenly become shy.
