This year, we decided to go to Italy for vacation and it did not disappoint. Both you and Bradley loved it and definitely want to go back. We went for a full 8 days and visited Venice, Florence and Rome. Things you loved:
-Boat transportation in Venice
-Burano
-Clams!
-Tiramisu
-Tortellini
-Vespa ride in Rome
-Golf cart tour
-Time with family
We arrived on Saturday at our Airbnb, took a short nap and had our first dinner at Muro. You really like clams linguine and mussels. We also tried pork ragu, gnocchi, pizza, duck ragu and gelato at Amorino (your fav gelato place). The next day, we went to Burano which was beautiful. We walked aroudn and had lunch - fried shrimp, grilled turbot and seabream as well as the freshest mussels, razor clams, clams and soft shell crabs. This was your fav meal of the trip. Then, back at Venice, we walked around and got dinner at Trattoria de Gallettine (more mussels, clams and linguine) followed by a gondola ride and some more gelato.
On Monday, we visited Doge's palace, St Marks Square and climbed the Clock tower. We also made some face masks at Camarana which was so much fun! Pre game dinner was fried seafood and tiramisu. Dinner was pretty uneventful at Pietro Rossa.
