Def plan to reserve the borghese gallery. The "I don't have reservations line" was ridiculous. Also, take Rick's advice and start upstairs. Then go back to the front while everyone goes upstairs during the second half. Wish I had listned to him ... I will do this when I go back in a month!
Beautiful gallery with plenty of gardens, sculptures and renaissance paintings. My favorite in Rome. In the middle of the Borghese gardens - a really pretty and huge park.
One of my favorite museums. Don't miss this. You have to make a reservation in advance. They'll give you a time to be there and then you have 2 hours. No reservation, no get in! They tell you to start on the top floor, paintings and such, BUT leave lots of time for the first floor because that's One of my favorite museums. Don't miss this.

If you're hiring a car from Pisa airport, don't wait for the shuttle bus, it's only around the corner to the right. This will save you a big wait in the shuttle queue.
This may be a little much with young kids, but it is a very interesting and fascinating museum for older kids and adults. You can put it on your wish list for a few years from now.
There's nothing like strolling around the Mall when you're in a pensive mood. With the White House to the north, the Capitol to the east, and the Supreme Court just beyond that, you are truly in the center of the western world. It's a very powerful feeling.
