Meet me at Rialto
My husband is not game for a day of real shopping but the man slays a photo shoot. Here’s to many more family vacations like this one. Love love.

L’ultimo giorno
It’s our last day in Europe and we could not feel more gratitude for the privilege we have to experience all of this. We visited a few more churches today, Leonel learned how to use a proper bidet, and we are determined to eat more delicious pasta!

8k steps before noon
It’s a rainy day in Venice, but we geared up and headed out to eat, do some shopping, and find as many churches as we could light a candle in. It was a great success. Also it’s a good thing Vienna was so affordable, because Venezia is taking all the euros!

Accoglienza
We’ve landed in Venice and I’m so overwhelmed. We couldn’t have chosen a more different city from Vienna as our second location. There was a lot more content for us to consume about Venice before we arrived so everything looks as expected, but we were not prepared for the vibes! Venice is bustling. There is…

Auf Wiedersehen
Today we depart Austria and head for Italia. I’m so sad to leave, but we truly made the best of our time here and it’s given me more confidence to travel than ever before. Last night Alex and Leonel escorted me to the Casino Wien and I was off on my own for a bit.…

Alex was right, again
I love Vienna and I will be dreaming about returning until we can come again. Today is our last full day in the city and it’s so much more than I could have dreamed. The culture, the people, the beauty. I don’t want to leave! Our last day before Venice (less kid friendly) we are…

Therme Wien
Alex booked a Therme afternoon where we can swim and get massages. This place is amazing. It has 5 giant pools some just for toddlers, some for bigger kids, some for adults only. They go inside and out. Slides, floaties, spraying water features. You can order food and alcohol! Dare I say I like it…

Kisses are Küsse in German
Today is the day we’ll get to see the biggest reason I agreed to come to Vienna instead of a tropical beach vacation. Klimt. Alex and I have been chasing our favorite pieces around the world for a while now. Paris and Amsterdam checked over a dozen off the list, but one in particular reminds…

Prater
We love an amusement park. Growing up I’d follow my family to them and hold their jackets and cameras while they rode roller coasters, waiting for the 1-3 attractions that I really loved. Alex grew up down the street from the Colorado State Fair grounds; to this day one of our favorite things to do…

God & Wiener schnitzel
Today we are headed to Mass at a very old and giant church, the Votiv by the university. We will see where Alex attended classes when he studied abroad! A bit surreal. But first… Nutella for breakfast! This church was not on the itinerary. It was very cool and close so I’m glad we went…

When in Wien
We’ve just landed in Vienna. I slept a total of 20 minutes on the plane. The turbulence was bad over the Atlantic, but I have to say I was very impressed with the service and the food on Austrian. It was an incredible experience all on its own, even without sleep. Alex convinced me to…
