Rome Trip - Day 5 Friday



Friday we got up and ate a little breakfast and headed on the Metro over to The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. We met back up with the tour guide that gave us the tour of Palatine Hill the day before. His name was Colin and is from England. He gave us a tour of the Vatican Museum first. All of the paintings by Michelangelo and Raphael were amazing. Personally I loved Raphael's paintings the best. They weren't the light and pastel colors like most the other paintings. They were bright and bold. After the museum we walked through a court yard to another building that lead us to the Sistine Chapel. When you first walked into the building it was a long hall way of Roman sculptures. They were all amazing to look at and very interesting to hear about some of their stories. As we made our way though all of the hallways of sculptures you finally make it to the Sistine Chapel. You are not allowed to take any photos in there so we don't have any inside. There were alot of very interesting things we did learn about though while in the Chapel.


After our tour was over we made our way out of the Vatican museum and headed back down into town and walked through a local market and through some of the little shops. Jesse picked up some really pretty dress shoes at one of the little shoe shops and we picked up a few souvenirs for family while we were there. We then jumped back onto the metro and headed back to our Hotel for a bit to meet up with some friends to go to dinner.


We rode the metro to a plaza and walked to the restaurant that we all wanted to try. We found the place but they were full and we didn't have a reservation so we had to go and find another place to eat. We walked back up the road about a block or so and found this little place called Pizza Re'. We looked at the menu for a minute but were not sure if this was where we wanted to eat or not. Then an Italian couple walked out of the restaurant and said 'Very Good, Very Good' So we took their word and headed in. We were all pleasantly surprised with the food. It was amazing! I had the best brisetta and lasagna ever! Jesse had ravioli and a Mariana pizza. We were all very happy that we happened to run across this place!


Jesse and I headed back to our hotel and on our way had to stop and get some more gelatto!

If has been a hot minute since I have updated this blog. It is really a great way to document our lives and he goes round probably 3. We have 4 daughters now, Reese (10), Roxie (8), Aniston (7) and our baby girl Torah (5). We have finished building our new home in South Pocatello. We finished in February of 2019. It has been a wonderful experience to build and we are still working on getting the lawn and outside finished up.  Jesse started his career as a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones, then moved to Wells Fargo for 4 years and in May he ventured out on his own and his company is called Red Cedar Wealth. It has been a great thing for him and is working hard to build his book for him and not someone else.  I started Pathways in 2015 through BYU-I and am currently a BYU-I online student. It has taken me time but I am working to graduate within the next year. I have only taken like 3-6 credits per semester but it has worked for us and at least I am making some progress

London will be 3 in October and well he will tell you that he is really 6. London is quite the character! Jesse and I always joke that he is like one of those sour patch candy commercials 'At first he's sour and then he's sweet!' He is definatly kinda mischevious but has his oh so sweet side! Liam is 6 weeks old and such a good baby. He is such a handsome little guy with the best temperament! He is being blessed this weekend! Dallas Jay is Jyl and Ace's little boy.
