The Return

Originally we heard that Venice was a one day city. We planned three days to explore the region and cities surrounding Venice. We had so much fun in Venice we decided to spend the entire time there. We felt like we didn't even scratch the surface. The weather ended up being so nice that we planned a small trip to the beach in isle of Lido. But before we could hit the beach we had to make a small stop and pick up a brand new red purse for Janelle. You can see the pic of how happy she was with her new purchase. As you wander through the back streets you find many small Piazza's. They all have so many different features from fountains, churches, & small gardens everywhere. We found a lot of the locals in the back streets from kids playing soccer and all the old timers sitting on benches talking about the good ol' days.

 

This is the beach at Lido. It is the only island in Venice that has streets and cars on it. We loved being in the town and sitting in the sun. We had a great lunch at a shop that looked like a surf shack. For those who have been to the beaches in Europe before people watching is a fun past time. You get to see many topless women who should not be topless. This last month before we went Venice in Zurich was rainy, cold, and dark. It felt so good to get down to Venice and be in the Sun. Being on the beach is just so revitalizing, we just didn't want to ever leave.

So these may be my FAVORITE pictures yet....I know, right? That's so hard to say because ALL of your pictures are off-the-chart AMAZING! Janelle - I love how you are always dressed in an adorable "theme appropriate" outfit. The blue and white striped shirt is so perfect for the beach. (And I love the red purse...you have great taste!) This trip looks like just what the doctor ordered. So beautiful!!!!!!!
