We just got back from an awesome trip to Rome & Florence, Italy. We had a wonderful time and were able to see so much in the week that we were there! We spent 5 days in Rome and 3 in Florence. We ate the best food & gelato, saw the most amazing sites (including the Pope) and just had a good time taking in all the beauty and culture that is there.
The weather was beautiful during our stay- 75 degrees the whole time! We were lucky to go to so many amazing museums and to see so many important pieces of history. Anyway, we had a great time so here are a few of my favorite pictures!

The Vatican
Tomb of the Unknown Soldiar

By far my favorite picture from the trip...the Coloseum at night is incredible
I told you I would re-create this picture outside the Pantheon...and I did.
But Sam's turned out way better than mine
We took a day trip out to Ostia Antica- it's about 30 minutes outside of Rome and has amazing ruins. This was my favorite part of our trip because there was so much to see!
Potato Pizza? Believe me....it was delicious!
Thousands of people on Good Friday listening to the Pope outside the Coloseum
I was totally not supposed to take pictures of the David because it's not allowed. But nobody caught me!
Florence was so packed with people!
The duomo in Florence
We had to climb 463 steps to see this view of the Duomo-I definitley am not that in shape.
We loved the gelato there. We bought it three times a day-my favorite flavor was stratiatella

Day trip to the Appian Way where Paul had visions of Christ
So it was our last day in Rome and we had no Euros left. We wanted to see the Forums (which were free of charge last time we visited) and they now charge 9 euros to get in. So lame, right? And they didn't take credit cards. There was really no other option than to squeeze through the bars to get in. I'm not kidding. Sam and I both squeezed through these bars and snuck in!

This makes me want to go now! I love the photos.
I love the pictures! Who wouldn't right? Ah it just reminded me of my trip there 2 years ago and how much I fell in love with Rome! I really loved Vatican city, that's neat you were there for Good Friday to be a part of the festivities! I think I'm gonna start saving right now and get my butt back to Italy!
What an awesome trip! It looks like you guys had a great time. I can't believe that you snuck through the bars to get into that place. What a bunch of criminals!!
ok...it's official!! I totally need a tripod! Glad you guys had a great time!
I would have to agree...that picture of the coloseum is pretty amazing! Good work! It looks like you guys had a fabulous time!!!
