I last visited Rome about 20 years ago. We went to Italy several times when my Uncle was assigned to Rome for work. It's always amazing to go back to a city that you last remember as an early teenager. While I thought Rome was incredible then... I am even more impressed now. To recognize the advances that the Romans had made and how far we fell back in the Dark Ages is staggering. The beautiful art around every corner was incredible and recognizing the masterpieces at the Vatican (separate from the random religious art that I remember it to be) was special. We loved our trip and managed to fit a lot in, but we could have spent years there and not seen it all! A few of our favorite photos from the trip.
