Maybe skip the museums and to just soak in the people and the food. I got so terribly lost wandering from the Pantheon to Piazza Novona.

There's just something about capturing a picture of a nun in Rome (I have one too). And I love the fact that hearing "Hotel California" transports you back to Rome. There really is just so much to see in Rome. For the two days that we were there, we merely scratched the surface.

It can detract from the site's beauty (especially when thousands of locks are left!). In some ways I could see the argument being made that it's vandalism, as it alters the appearance of a bridge. Anyhow, I loved this post since we were just in Rome this past summer, too!

It was great to virtually travel with all of you and I'm just sad I don't have a gelato with me while reading this ;-) Rome is such a great city to explore and get lost. My kids weren't with us during our visit too so I'm glad to read some of your kids' experience here.

It's great that your kids showed a lot of interest in Rome's antiquities, especially Pantheon. It's one of my favorite sights as well. You were lucky to find less crowd in the Vatican, otherwise it may eat up your whole afternoon. Lovely post.
