This past weekend we decided to brave the crowds, weather, freaky masked characters, and take a trip to Venice, the city of breathtaking views, gondolas, and amazing sea food! With the weather forecast looking promising, we took off Friday morning for Venice, excited to see what the city had in store. Upon arriving, the weather luckily did not disappoint, there was not a cloud in the sky and for one of the first times, we did not need a coat so our outfits could finally be fully appreciated. We hopped on a water taxi and were off to start our day!

Arriving on the main land of Venice, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful day by buying a bottle of wine and hopping on the first gondola we could find!

Our gondolier insisted that, although learning to drive (or steer?) a gondola takes about 20 years to master, we should get up behind the paddle (wheel?) and give it a good ole' try. We didn't move much..but hey, at least we all look cute in the pictures.

More to come on our weekend in Venice, but I don't want to get yelled at again for taking too long to post (Mom and Dad...) so stay tuned!
