This morning's excursion was the Vatican. The kids were again fabulous. It is so hot and they didn't make a peep about wearing long pants or covering their arms. Our guide, Carla, was so entertaining and had so much knowledge. She was also willing to reroute our tour so we could see the 'School of Athens,' a famous painting that shouldn't be missed but was on a different path then she had planned to take. We really enjoyed the Sistine Chapel and Carla's explanation of the "Last Judgement,' the ceiling and how new Popes are elected. 
We have had a free afternoon and the kids took full advantage. All are currently out searching for that one piece of art, monument, or souvenir that that will become their favorite memory before we leave Rome first thing tomorrow.
Update: they all made it back to the hotel with their treasures and then we went to a restaurant that served authentic Italian pizza. Not what the kids are used to but I think it's yummy!
