Yeah! Dad was super excited to wear the Bjorn! i wore it so much i think I pulled my shoulder so he got lucky enough to wear it

talk about a busy day! we woke up and went to the Vatican, of course we were running late, but we made it. Good thing things were so slow this time of year. the Vatican was pretty cool, there was so much art. the Sistine Chapel, St Peters Basilica, it was a little overwhelming! you can't take pictures inside the Sistine Chapel, but we got one and Shaun got in trouble with their God I mean guards. its crazy to think it is all so old!? it really is amazing how similar and different our beliefs are. the grandeur of their buildings, all across Italy are really immaculate, the designs, the details, the age. It puts a lot in perspective but at the same time made me so grateful for our church.

After the Vatican we headed lunch and it went to the Fontana di Trevi, threw a coin in to guarantee we would be back someday, and took the subway to the Spanish steps. For some reason Shaun saw some kid drink from the fountain and thought that meant it was sanitary... lets just say the next day he wasn't feeling to hot.
