From the Vatican to the Colosseum

Rome wasn't built in a day, but we sure tried to see most of it in a day! :)

Setting out on our 12 hour walking tour. Camden and Emma strolling along the wall of the Vatican City on our way to the Vatican Museum.
Emma, Nana, and Camden in the courtyard
 Wandering through one of the beautiful galleries
 This scene played out many times in the museum: Listening to the audio tour and/or reading information from Rick Steve's tour book
 The amazing Sistine Chapel
 Emma and Nana having some pizza and people watching in St. Peter's Square
 One happy boy!
Inside St. Peter's Basilica
 Near the site of our proposal :)


 We hoofed it across town and the kids were more than ready for a break at the Victor Emmanuel Monument
 We joined a fantastic tour of the Colosseum



 Walking towards Palatine Hill
 As our tour guide was filling us in on the beginning of Rome, Camden took a little rest in the grass.
 The end of a wonderful anniversary trip!
