Roma, Italy - Capuchin Crypts, Villa Borghese, Foro Romano, Pantheon

The day started off well with a fascinating visit to the Capuchin Crypts of Santa Maria Concepzione in Roma. Although Daddy was disappointed that his reservation at the Gallerie Borghese was not honored (I guess the online reservation system isn't reliable!), we all had fun riding the funky electric bikes/carts around Villa Borghese park. Later, we spent a couple hours at the forum with hardly any complaining from the kids! To cap the day, we finally went inside the Pantheon. We'd been staying within a few feet of it for several days now, but finally checked out the inside. Very cool.
Favorite kid moment—Upon entering and seeing the Capuchin Crypts, Adam mutters, with a noticeable nodding action, “Cooooooool!” A close second would be riding the electric bike/carts in Villa Borghese.
