ROMA

A few weeks ago we departed on a European vacation with some of our closest friends, Brandon & Amber, to explore Italy - it was AMAZING!!! Since we traveled around a bit, I'll break up my posts to show each stop. First stop - Rome! After an "exciting" death defying taxi ride we made it to our Bed & Breakfast with a perfect view of the Colosseum just steps away. We spent the next three days exploring (what felt like every inch) of Rome. The history is so rich and we just couldn't believe that these things that we were witnessing existed thousands of years ago! To scratch the surface, we visited the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, and many beautiful churches. One of the most incredible and surreal experiences was at Vatican City. We took the Scavi Tour underneath St. Peter's Basilica and got to see Peter's tomb and HIS BONES. What an experience to get to be standing just inches away from one of Jesus's disciples, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Here are a few pictures to give you a glimpse of the beautiful city of Roma!
