Last week my parents celebrated 40 years of married life together. They took Mr B and I to Venice, to really celebrate in style! My parents have visited Venice before but it was the first time for my husband and I. It was amazing. We walked and walked and walked. I snapped and snapped and snapped some more. The weather was hot and sunny, the coffee was strong and creamy, the ice cream was to die for and the views were out of this world.

I'll let my photos do the talking...























It was hard coming back into work on Monday let me tell you... Venice I miss you!

  1. My favorite piece of art - any kind of art, ever - is Monet's "Palazzo da Mula, Venice" - and the photos you took - especially the last one - have all the same colors and obviously similar scenes. You made my morning. xo
