The busiest weekend in the entire calendar year in Rome is Easter so Glen and I figured we should go there and see for ourselves. The weather was stunning, we had 4 days of warmth and blue skies. We saw the beautiful and fascinating sites of Rome and had the amazing experience of getting tickets to Easter Sunday mass in Vatican Square. On top of all that, having 4 days away from work meant we could really relax.
