Europe Vacation: Rome, Day 1

We're off! Thank you so much to Grandma Joy for watching four of the kids so we could go to Europe!
 Tyler was wide awake at five in the morning.
By the time we got on the flight to Rome, it was bedtime.  A flight attendant made friends with Tyler by playing catch with him (and Pooh Bear).  He also loaned Tyler a hanging portable crib.

Tyler slept in it for a couple hours...

and spent most of the night on Mom's lap.
 Rome Fiumicino Airport had a fire the morning we arrived.  Lots of flights were canceled, but we were allowed to land.
We soon learned it was often easier for people to understand our Spanish than our Italian. Our hotel had a small balcony:
 We checked in and headed to the Colosseum:
 
 We were so tired we felt like we were sleepwalking.
  Palatine Hill and Imperial Forums:
 
 Mamertine Prison:
 Tiki loved the fountains:
 The Pantheon:
 Piazza Navona:
 Dinner at the Piazza Navona.  Tyler loved the pizza, and we tried cacio e pepe.  Even the water was extra delicious.
