BONJOURNO ITALIA

VENICE

After four years of hard work and before many more years of hard work, Patrick and I took this break and opportunity to explore Italy. This was possible thanks to G&G Reilly who after graduation stayed at our home with Ayden (and took her to Disney for a 3rd time...what a spoiled girl!) and also Uncle Richard, with Aunt Jilli's help, who spent part of his break watching her as well. It was wonderful not to worry about her at all while we were away almost two weeks. Ayden had a blast and is probably looking forward to the next time she can be spoiled rotten by family.

So, over the next few posts I will cover the places we went and share highlight pics (we took 600). The first stop was Venice. It was incredibly beautiful. Every turn was another picture perfect frame.

Famous Rialto Bridge
