Ciao everyone! Here are some more pictures from our trip to Rome and the Vatican with Jason's mom and dad. It was definitely nice to have family visit and we had a great time exploring Rome. This was our second time to Rome, and we loved walking around and seeing the sights of this amazing city. This was our first time visiting St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican, and let me tell you, what an amazing experience. The basilica is massive, and houses impressive artwork and sculptures by Raphael, Michaelangelo and Bernini. If there is one place to see in your lifetime, this is it! We also took an elevator and climbed 323 steps up the most narrow stairway on earth to get to the top of the basilica. As you can see, the view is well worth the effort. Enjoy!
