Venice 2015

At the end of January, we took the kids to Venice for a long weekend.  Nathan loved the boats, the elevated sidewalks (one day the tide was high and St. Mark's Square was flooded), the pizza, the gelato, but most importantly, he loved our hotel room.  There was a ledge that ran along the wall above his bed and he had so much fun walking along that and jumping down onto his bed.  There were also lots of little nooks and crannies where he could hide.  There were times that he didn't even want to leave our hotel room because he was having so much fun :)  To be fair, it was a great hotel room - it was right on a little canal and you could just sit in the room and listen to the gondoliers serenading you as they floated by.  But, we did get out and explore the city.  We even took a trip over to Murano to see the famous Murano glass blowing.
