Rome

Stop 3: Rome! Rome holds a special place in our hearts — the last time we were here we had just become a family of two on our honeymoon! This time we're walking the ancient Appian Way in the footsteps of Roman legionaries, imagining a PG version of gladiator battles at the Colosseum, wandering the Forum ruins, and picnicking in the beautiful Villa Borghese gardens. Oh, and did we mention the food and wine? That's definitely not last on the list! 🍷🏛️
