After returning from our last private (= without kids) trip to Barcelona, our daughters, 10 and 3 years old, complained badly about having being left alone (despite the in-laws, who bravely took care of them while we were abroad). We felt like bad parents. So the next trip was planed with kids: Rome. The elder one wanted to visit the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica; the little one insited to see the sea. We agreed with both, went to Rome for three nights. One day we stayed in the capitol of Italy and the other day at it's beach, Lido Di Ostia. Plus, through the kindness of bright sun and warm temperatures, we had a taste of the forthcoming spring. What a perfect trip - for all four of us.
