Well it may be close to midnight but we made it to Rome and when we landed the airport had a playground waiting at baggage claim so the girls were off and running straight away! Our bags all arrived in tact and a driver was waiting for us at the airport with a comfy SUV, candy and water.

Will found a beautiful hotel about 25 minutes from the airport and just outside of the center or the city so it was quiet and located on a tree lined street. We got there close to midnight and the manager poured us some complimentary drinks and then went and made us a cheese plate with toasted bread (plain, lightly toasted and dark to be exact), nuts, and chips. He also brought the girls some sparkly water. We hung out downstairs and chatted/stuffed our faces for a bit and then headed up to our room.

In our room the hotel put a crib, kids table, toys, and coloring pencils for the girls. It was absolutely perfect. I cant even remember what time we fell asleep…maybe 4am?

The next morning (or afternoon i should say since we woke up around noon), we missed the breakfast and the manager figured we slept super late so he saved a bunch of little pastries for us and then went out of his way and made us eggs and cafe when we woke up. Ahhh, italian coffee. The girls dined at their little kiddie table with chairs.

After breakfast we headed down to venture out for the day and another hotel worker came over and gave the girls little finger puppets and candy. We also met the resident cat.
