Connor eating spaghetti in Rome! After days of pizza...Connor finally caved in and tried some pasta! And he loved it!

He's a fairweather pasta eater so I wasn't sure how it was going to go...and not only did he like it, but he fed himself which is a major life event for us!

Our vacation apartment in Rome...it was awesome!










Evening views in Rome on our last night


Trevi fountain...Connor threw some money in the fountain!


Finally! After 4 nights in Rome...Connor finally tried some pasta and was happy to eat it by himself which is a major life event for us!



last pic before heading down the castle

Goof...laying out on top of the castle...




now Daddy and Connor's turn

On top of the Castle of the Angels overlooking the Vatican

Connor gave the statue some money and he bent down for a handshake!

Cool statue...

These gladiators are all over the city. They want 5 Euro for a pic. We offered 3 Euro and he said ok one pic. Literally, he walked away after 1 pic!



Colosseum in the background

inside the Colosseum...Connor sat down and played with his airplanes while we listened to the tour guide!

He's a drinker! Always asking for a sip of Daddy's beer...and then says "ick!"

Cheers! Dinner in Rome!

They don't do "kids" cups anywhere we've traveled! It's pretty funny but Connor sure likes to have his drinks in a wine glass!

still inside St. Peter's

Connor reflecting as he looks around the church

Connor and Daddy inside St. Peter's

it's blurry...but as soon as we walked inside St. Peter's Basilica...Connor put his hands together and started praying!

in front of the Vatican

the main door to our vacation apartment in Rome...one thing both Italy and Spain are good for is lots of grafitti!

Anyway...when we first walked into our apartment on Wednesday night...Connor said, "wow, this is cool!" Funny kid!

on the double decker tour bus the first morning in Rome

in the Rome airport waiting for our suitcases...you'd never know it was nearly 10pm and he only had an hour nap! he was rarin' to go!
