Europe Part 2

For everyone that was sitting by their computer in anticipation of the second round of pictures from our Europe trip ... your prayers were answered! haha! We present to you Part 2: Rome



Here we are at one of the many train stations on our trip.


The Vatican was awesome to see thanks to our fantastic tour guide. We were able to get in early before the museum even opened! We highly recommend signing up for a tour if anyone decides to go!


This is right out side St. Peters Basilica in the Vatican City.


Inside St. Peter's. This place was HUGE! Under that thing behind us is where Peter himself is buried.


Shhh! We're not supposed to be taking pictures in the Sistine Chapel ;)



Linz was soooo craving this Snickers. Luckily it hit the spot ... it better have for 2 Euros! haha


If you remember from Part I photos, we had a picture with shells at the beach. We had planned to take some home, and Seth even lathered, rinsed and repeated cleaning the shells ... but they still stunk up our luggage. Sadly, we threw them out.


Seth's bro, Scott, was all about hitting up the Hard Rock in Rome.


On a tour bus, top deck, wind flowing through our hair, listening to the tour as we circle the city.



The Colosseum! It was kinda funny when we went inside, we were watching this guy walk all around the place looking for a piece to chip off the columns and stuff. Why pay for a souvenir when you can create your own huh?

This was massive!


Good times .... good times...


Chillin' in the Forum. We only had 2 days in Rome which worked out perfect. One day spent at the Vatican, and the other for the Coloseum and the Forum.


This is one of my favorite shots of all of us on the trip. Standing in front of the forum.

YYYY M C A! yukuk





We came ... we saw ... we conquered!


Well this is a story all of it's own. After hitting the beach in Venice Linz got a crazy sunburn on part of her legs that made her legs swell up like a ... uh ... something! (even after applying SPF 50 sunscreen) It was pretty hard getting around near the end of Venice, here in Rome and the beginning of Switzerland. I even had to help stand her up in the morning and walk her around till her ankles and legs warmed up. The swelling completely locked up her joints! She was a trooper though, I mean ... you're only in Europe once, right? And ... when in Rome! haha ... but I digress ...


.... not even close to the Mirage as Seth knows it here in Las Vegas!


So as you can see, Rome was a lot of fun (aside from Lindsay's inability to walk) haha! There was a whole lot to see and we learned a lot of interesting stuff! Next stop .... Switzerland!!! (If we ever get around to posting Part 3 of this 4 part series! haha)
