Venice, Italy

We got up early to get to Venice before the rush of people. We split up from our visitors and went our own way.

This picture was taken last year when Sam & I went on our Cruise
So I thought I would take the same picture again this year.

Daddy & Kora Lily - we ended up taking her stroller since we knew we would be in Venice all day and not be able to carry her around. It was a blessing in disguise not having her carrier. She actually did really well and slept most of the day in her stroller. When we were in Venice the night before I was looking to see if anyone else was using a stroller and how hard it was for them to go up and down all the little bridges. It really worked out well.
Kora's excitement to be in Venice
But as usual she spent most of the day passed out. I thought she was going to get fried since it was so sunny and hot. But apparently applying sunscreen every 3 hours... really does prevent sunburn.

We meet up with our Visitors in the afternoon. We were going to go back to our hotel and take naps so that we could refresh for the evening. But we ended up staying in Venice ALL DAY! My husband had to drag me out of Venice at the end of the day. I always say that out of all the places we have visited that I do not have a favorite...... but I think that Venice is by far my Favorite place. I love all the little alleys, water ways... and of course all the FUN shopping! We looked for another piece of Murano Glass to add to our one piece that we picked up last year.... but we shopped all day and never really found a striking piece. We even spent the day looking for the same store that we bought our piece last year in. It was still fun and we were thankful for the opportunity to visit this AWESOME city again!
