The Vatican Museum

It’s thankfully only a three-minute walk from our Best Western Plus Spring House Hotel. There we have a two-story family suite that impresses the girls (nice breakfast too!).

Our reserved tickets were for 10:00AM, and we hit the highlights for three hours, celebrating our time in the Sistine Chapel with some decent food in their pizzeria.

We’ll leave it to their parents to explain this fertility symbol.

An ancient map of Venice, our next stop.

Lunchtime finally...

Riley carefully picked off the tuna she’d mistakenly ordered.


Then it was down the 1930s spiral staircase and back to the hotel for a pleasant nap in the heat of the day.
