A Day in Venice!
For our first full day in Italy we took a 1 1/2 hour train ride from Verona to Venice. It was great seeing the countryside this way. Sophie made lots of friends walking up and down the aisles with her daddy and I tried to have a conversation in Italian with a couple sitting across from us on the train.
Once we arrived in Venice we walked around the area just outside of the rail station called Campo San Geremia. There were some interesting shops and stalls. Sophie took a nice nap so Jeremy and I took advantage of a peaceful lunch at a little restaurant called Gino's. It was good and we had the entire place to ourselves which was nice (off season is a great time to travel!). 
After lunch we took the water bus to Plaza San Marco. What great views of the buildings and architecture! It is so unbelieveable that Venice is made up of over 100 different islands! This city really blew us away, we have to go back and spend more time there! We mostly just walked around taking it all in. We did buy a piece of art in Venice which we are thrilled with and can't wait to get the perfect frame for it. The sculptures, architecture, and overall atmosphere is undeniable unique and an experience we will never forget.
