Our first full day in Rome started off with Kate and Dave running through the city while the boys and I sat out on the balconies (we had two and switched things up). After a filling breakfast of eggs and bacon, we headed out to be tourists!
We hopped on the bus and off we went!
First stop... the Colosseum!
Big boy on an even bigger pillar!
Two views from the second floor of the Colosseum
Students outside the Colosseum making the Italian Flag
Josh and Dave outside the Colosseum
We stopped for our first pasta meal in Italy (yum!)
Caleb loved listening to these musicans
Best wine!
Homemade gnocchi pasta... yum!
Then we walked around the Roman Forum... very cool pillars and arches
No day is complete without Gelato! Caleb got the blue gelato (please, please, please enlarge the picture to see what flavor he is eating). We could not stop laughing like a bunch of school girls!
After Gelato, Caleb and Dave went back to the apartment to rest while Kate, Josh, and I went to Carrefour. I got to do my big shopping trip! Here is Josh with all of my loot!
Our neighborhood on the walk back from Carrefour! I loved where we stayed! Great apartment and great location!
Caleb loved Thadeus and I always found him in different places. After Caleb went to bed, I found this. Caleb had tucked Thadeus into bed with Caleb's blanket. What a sweet boy!
After the boys were asleep for the night, Kate and I walked around town for a bit!
These water fountains are all around Rome and the water was perfect for drinking!
We were staying seconds from the Vatican! What a great place to walk at night!
St. Peter's Basilica
St. Peter's Basilica from the other side
Love this statue from the bridge
St. Angelo's Castle
Posing in front of St. Peter's Basilica
What a great day of sightseeing and a great night of chatting (and being real) with Kate!
