Florence, Italy
The first weekend in July, while my parents were visiting, we took a little trip to Florence for Lucy’s first Italian adventure!

An Afternoon in Venice
Last Saturday we took the train from Vicenza to Venice to spend a few hours wandering around with absolutely no plans. It was a chilly, cloudy day, but it was still nice to be out and about. I have been to Venice a couple of times, but always during the summer when the city is…
