Venice with Jen

Being her first time to Europe, Jen wasn't sure where she wanted to visit. So of course, we decided for her, our favorite place.... Italy.  We took a little road trip down through Verona, Lake Garda, and Venice.  We stayed in an Agriturismo within driving distance to all 3 places.  The weather proved to be better than Switzerland, no surprise there. The food was fabulous and the company awesome. We just love having family (and friends) visit!

Piazza San Marco - the bird even posed for my picture, perfect!

Chasing the birds can last for hours, at least with my kids

Feeding the birds.... they are aggressive, the birds, not the kids

Beauty of Venice, everything about Venice is awesome, from the delivery carts to the police boats

How would you like that to be your front door? Boat needed of course.

Time for a little nap

The sun was out, the weather was perfect, so nap-time was in order

Jen and  I. I really enjoyed showing Jen around Europe.

Love all  the little waterways

One of my most favorite places to just sit and watch - Piazza San Marco

Jen and Saffron. Jen thought it was so crazy how much attention the dog got. At one point, Jen had me take pictures of all the people surrounding Saffron, pretty funny site.

I blogged more about the details of Venice on my travel blog.

And I'd like to leave you with the ultimate in entertainment.  While together Jen and I mastered the "split". The basics of the split are....1. you want to split up people while walking 2. you must do this by looking the other way.
