The first time I went to Rome it was summer. The air was hot and the lines were long. Can I just say that visiting Rome in February is fantastic! We literally walked into every single exhibit and the weather was perfectly comfortable. St. Peter's Basilica was huge and by the time we had used up the kids attention spans I wasn't sure we would get Lilly out of there without a fuss. She was most interested in sliding all around the marble floor and practically belly flopped herself around as we walked. 
Thank goodness there were more stairs to climb. Lilly was once again "on board" as we climbed to the top of St. Paul's to catch an amazing view of the basilica and Vatican City. Clara kept reminding us all morning that we were in the smallest country in Europe and that even though we had traveled to Italy we got a double bonus by entering yet another country. Our visit to the Vatican was one day too early. The Pope was scheduled to appear the day after. Maybe we'll see him next time.
