We are back and we had a blast. Bear with me, this is going to be a long post... 4 days in Rome! The kids were so good considering it was EXTREMELY hot and no air conditioning anywhere.
We got up before the butt crack of dawn!!! We left the house at like 3am to get to the airport in time!!! The kids were a bit cranky, but they did good! Then we had our flight to Rome. We flew Ryan Air, so we had to walk out to the plane, which the girls thought was pretty cool!
Once we got to Rome we got on a bus to the metro station and then had to ride two metros to the apartment stop. It wasn't too bad, but did I mention it was HOT!!! And we all had been up since 3am so everyone was tired, even though it was only 9am. We got to our apartment about 10:30 and were scheduled to drop off our bags at 11am, so we had to wait a bit. Angela was meeting us at the apartment and was supposed to be there shortly after us... so we started getting worried that she was either lost, or her plane was delayed.
We dropped off our bags and got something to eat at a Panini shop across the street (that's Italian for sandwich). After lunch we walked across the street to the apartment to leave a note for Angela, and she showed up!! Great timing!!! Her flight ended up being delayed, but we were able to do some grocery shopping and get settled in the apartment. After a rest for EVERYONE! we headed out to the Piazza di Spagna (rhymes with lasagna - hehehe) and the Trevi Fountain.
After the Trevi Fountain we stopped for Gelato! YUM! But boy was it expensive! Ang has a pic of it, and as soon as I get it from her I will post! Apparently we stopped at some gourmet Gelato place and my two scoop cone came with a sparkle pic, like 4 scoops, wafers and was 15 euro!! WOW! Total bill was 50 euro for just our family!!! We had pizza, pasta and salad for lunch for less than that!!! LOL!
Okay, I'm done for tonight... will post more tomorrow!
