Before we got to Rome, we had received recommendations to see the Roman catacombs and had intended on doing a tour of these underground burial sites. However, we decided to just spend our last day walking around and enjoying the city a bit more instead of spending the bulk of the day traveling to/from and touring the catacombs, although I'm sure it would have been incredible.
A great girlfriend from home sent me a Flat Stanley as part of the project she is doing with her preschoolers. If you aren't aware of Flat Stanley, you can see the idea behind it
here. I had forgotten to take Stanley with us the first two days so also wanted to make it a priority to get him to see a bit of Rome. ;-)

We went with him back to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, had a coffee in Pantheon square, drank some wine overlooking a market, found our souvenir mug that we get from each city we travel to, and took a few more pictures of the Colosseum. We an absolutely incredible, relaxed trip to Rome and I would highly recommend this city to anyone interested in a European vacation.
As a separate update, the hockey season resumes today after the February break. The boys play tonight and could make a little history if they win, tying the league record of home wins in a row. They are going for number 19 tonight. Cross your fingers! It is also Kev's birthday today so it would make the day just a bit sweeter. ;-) Happy Birthday to Kev, Happy Valentine's day to you all, and have a great weekend! Tschüss!!
