Over six years ago we made plans to visit Rome some day. Charity had lived there when she was nine years old for six months and fell in love with the place, and Adam has always wanted to see the great art and historical buildings. With our benefits we were finally able to make this dream a reality. We flew from Daytona Beach to Atlanta and then to Fort Walton Beach to drop off the kids with Charity's mom. We then flew back to Atlanta, and then first class non-stop to Rome. Charity really enjoyed being pampered on the flight and the 3-course meals were great also. After the nine hour flight we got through customs(a non affair) and figured out how to get to our hotel by train and walking.
The first day we visited the Pantheon, and Vatican terrace along with a lot of buildings I forget the names of. We walked about 12 hours on the first day and even longer on the second day.
The second day we visited the Collosseum and the inside of the Vatican. The Collosseum was a sight to see. Just standing there and knowing the history of it was amazing. The inside of the Vatican was unbelievably grand and beautiful -words and pictures don't do it justice. Unfortunately, the people who build it have caused many to go to hell.
We also went to see the tomb of the unknown soldier. The view from that building was amazing. We could see the Collosseum and many other old buildings and roads.
