I am finally going to sit down and post about some of our trips. We have traveled quite a bit since we moved to Germany and everyone keeps asking for pics (Plus this will be a great way to store some pics in case my computer takes a dive!!)
The Pantheon
The inside is, of course, beautiful. The floors are amazing!
There are those cute boys.
The ceiling. AMAZING!
The first day that we went to see Trevi fountain they were cleaning it. Even empty it was beautiful.
The kiddos were in ah that it was soooo big!
The Piazza Di Spagna. You can see the Spanish steps off to the right.
The beautiful ramp in the Vatican museum!
We opted for the family audio tour when we went in and the kiddos each got treasure maps and had to hunt down all the treasures. Eric was the first one to find this! They took it very serious and actually learned a lot.
Now Jacob found one so he got to put in the number and listen to the information.
Random hallway. This is one of the hallways after the Sistine Chapel. You're not supposed to take any pictures in there so I don't have one of Michelangelo's beautiful works on the ceiling.
Breath taking views everywhere you turn.
The Vatican gardens.
St. Peter's Basilica
Michelangelo's The Pietà . Pretty darn cool to see it in person. Jacob and I had just studied Michelangelo for his homeschool so it was neat to finish that section by seeing some of his most famous works.
View of the Basilica.
All decked out for Christmas.
Italy's tomb of the unknown soldier.
The Colosseum
It was pretty cool to see.
The history was very interesting.
Beautiful views out of every opening
Seriously?
Crazy Beautiful
The Arch of Constantine
Then they saw a bunny. Sarah was in love.
TOY STORE
(1 of about 6 we saw)
We went back by Trevi 2 days later and it was filled again. So amazing!
Merry Go Round in the Piazza di Novona
Saint Angelo Castle
The inner room where they used to keep all of the most important treasures locked in the large chest that was secured by 6 locks. There were also 6 key holders so no one could open it alone.
View from the top of the castle
Elevated walkway between the Vatican and the Castle.
Outside of the castle
Sarah being over vacation. LOL
The kiddos were troopers as usual. We walk a lot of steps and the kids always keep up!!
