In November we went on a family vacation to Rome, Italy.  It was so fun.

This is the Arch of Constantine.  It is very big.  It’s right beside the Colosseum.

St. Peters Basilica

St. Peters is the world’s biggest church.  The atrium (front part) of the church is bigger than most churches.

There were guards for the Vatican City.  They were dressed in something that according to my dad looked like pajamas.  They wouldn’t move, they just stood still while15 people took pictures of them.
