When in Rome...

...this phrase soon became our justification for doing anything we shouldn't, from jaywalking to eating gelato for breakfast :)

Eating the desserts...ahem, food

First stop...of course :)

Zac's first taste of Italian gelato

Us, happy

Excited for our first taste of Italian Pasta

We had a great pizzeria right by us

Gelato first thing in the morning. I originally declined,

but after tasting Zac's delicious choices, we went back

New Friends

The famous artichoke

Tiramisu at the Trevi

Carbonara, our favourite!

Exploring the Architecture

Zac is impressed

The view outside our window :)

I loved these buildings

And this one. It was practically in our backyard

Il Vittoriano

Roman Forum! Pretty amazing.

Zac listening to the audio guide

This shot was snapped by Zac

Up close with the Colosseum

Inside the Colosseum

Zac on the Spanish Steps

We Played Around

Most days this consisted of tag, races, tickle fights or just me being attacked by my son :P

Just foolin' around

Playing tag by the Trevi Fountain

Getting ready to throw the coin!

We Took a Tour

We felt like relaxing and sightseeing
 so we hopped on a double decker tour

Castle!

Strolled the Streets

We were so impressed by these pictures

It was so nice staying so close to the Colosseum,
We strolled by frequently

So many cute adorable cars!

Attacked by a gladiator

It was scary

Checked out some unexpected gatherings..

A protest

There were tons of people.

This was a country-wide police strike! 

We biked past these ladies

They were singing beautifully

We Enjoyed the Beauty of the Night

The Trevi Fountain at night

Everything is so pretty at night

The Vatican City, of course!

Our tour guide was a bad influence and got Zac to spin it

Looking at the inspiration for "David"

The eyes of Jesus followed us..

Loved the Gallery of Maps

"The Boot"

In St. Peter's

Loved these guys!

Cafes

I let Zac drink coffee. Bad idea.

Standing at the bar. Cheap and authentic!

Europe does everything chocolate
way better than we do

Did a Colosseum Photo shoot

We biked around Rome

Biked Around

We rented bikes for a few days on our trip to explore the city via pedals.

With our goofy guide

One day got rainy, but we were prepared!

This is known as Rome's best gelato and it sure was delicious!

Quick pet stop
