Chloe woke up this morning and enjoyed every bite of her Italian pastry breakfast!
August woke up this morning eager to ride the elevator down — yes, this is the elevator in the building where our Airbnb is located! Our oh-so-large family has to ascend and descend in shifts!
John, August and I rode the Metro (notice anyone smiling big because of this?) to Explora Il Museo dei Bambini di Roma! For those of you not in the know, that would be the Children’s Museum located in the Flaminia area of Rome! We arrived and searched for just the right place to stop for an early lunch.
We found a darling cafe with tables by the street and went to sit down, when we noticed that our jet-lagged grandson was a goner!
But he perked right up when I whispered “Nutella waffle” and “smoothie” in his ear!
Between the food, the trams, the buses and the sirens that kept passing by, we agreed that lunch was a huge success and well worth waking up for!
The museum opened at noon and we were one of the first ones there!
What a FUN day for all of us! Nothing could beat seeing August’s face while he experienced all that the museum had to offer!
The museum closed at noon (who knew?), so we walked until we found the perfect gelato store where we introduced August to this delicious Italian delicacy! He ate every single bite and proceeded to say “Ciao” as we walked out the door!
Two minutes after we returned home, he had taken off his shoes, socks and pants and fell promptly to sleep!
Jon, Jas and Chloe’s day looked a bit different than ours did! They enjoyed every minute of the tours of the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum! How Jon and Chloe could remember all the crazy details they learned, we’ll never know! Jas, on the other hand….😜😜😜
We found a cute little cafe, just a six minute walk from our Airbnb, where we ate a delicious dinner.(Thanks, Dieds, for, once again, finding the perfect place in the perfect location!)
August insisted that he hold “Unca Jon Jon’s” hand all the way home! 😍😍🌼
