Fast forward ten days and we're at the Colosseum. Once again SO tired and SO hot.
Our original plan was to visit the Colosseum the same day we did the Vatican. hah! Impossible. There is sooo much to see at the Colosseum/ Forum. It's an all day thing, and even when it's one hundred degrees outside, it's something you have to do while in Rome! Just wear a light skirt, and not tight shorts and garments like me. It's enough to turn a pregnant lady into a hot hot crying mess. Also, do not go to Rome in July/August. Ugh.
We had no problem getting tickets, it wasn't that busy. A few of us had downloaded Rick Steve's free podcast before the trip so we all shared headphones and tried to educate ourselves. After a lot of walking and sweating, we made our way down to the Spanish steps for dinner and the Trevi at night for our last gelato.
^ doesn't it look hot? I can feel the heat radiating from this photo ^

^ look how small and cute my bump was! This was before Mckell sat in disgusting pigeon poop ^
^ Site of the very first Hunger Games ^
^ exhausted at The Forum ^
^ the fam was fascinated by these orange men. They were everywhere. ^
^ We didn't find our favorite Roman gelato until the last night. They had mini cones, cookie sticks, AND whipped cream. My dad's dream. I think my favorite combination was Cookies, Milk, and Hazelnut gelato. YUM! ^
Until next time Rome!
So jealous.... one day i will go to rome!
