Venice is one of my most favorite cities in the world. The kids loved it just as much too! On our first day in Venice we caught a boat to Murano and had an amazing tour of a glass blowing factory. At the end of our tour, we got to make bracelets from glass beads. That evening we caught a gondola ride with Venice's first female gondolier. It was a gorgeous night and we enjoyed watching the sunset from our gondola. The next morning we climbed up San Marco and enjoyed a view of the piazza from above. After that, we caught a boat to Burano, an island known for its lace making and colorful buildings. The kids stumbled across and amazing alley of homes, each of which was painted a color of the rainbow. They had a blast running up and down the colorful alleyways. We were sad to leave Venice, but excited to explore more of Italy.
