Our first day of traveling began in Venice! Here we are coming up on the Piazzo San Marco after our tour of the Grand Canal. We climbed that tower on the left, St. Mark's Campanile, (more pictures HERE) on the hour and the bells chimed right above our heads. It was so loud but so neat at the same time! Straight back from the kids is the Basilica and to the right is Doge's Palace.
The kids at the top of the famous Rialto Bridge (we took this picture with out wide angle lens so Evan and Paige look a little distorted ... opps)
One of our many breaks during the day. I swear when I leave Europe I will probably be able to tell you exactly where each bathroom is in each city and how much they cost. Anika kept herself busy while waiting for the others ... you know, since she was first and all.
Our gondola ride as a family and the kids with our gondolier (I had no idea they had a specific title)
We ate dinner at this square - pizza and calzones. The kids fed the pigeons and chased the pigeons all while being serenaded by these wonderful men at the top of the stairs. What more could you ask for? Maybe a glass pen with a vile of ink, a glass butterfly necklace, a yellow pen with a little gondola floating back and forth and a piece of candy. Those were the kids souvenirs for the trip. I know, we truly are fancy!
