Just a few shots of our short trip to Elba Island, Italy
It was such a great side trip! There weren't a lot of crowds, the kids LOVED the beach, and the scenic drive was beautiful!
Milan, Italy
Where da Vinci's Last Supper is located: we just got our tickets through Viva Tickets
We booked super late and so one ticket was for 12:15 and the other one was 2:15, our kids weren't able to see it. We had to wait around this church for practically the entire day. The kids did great though and we were right next to a really clean bathroom which makes a HUGE difference.
An Evening in Lucca, Italy
We loved just wandering around this city at dusk. Granted a lot of the big points were closing when we snuck in but it was so much fun to just walk around, window shop, eat dinner, grab some Gelato, and let the kids run free without disturbing anybody.
Church and Baptistery of San Giovanni and Reparata
Siena, Italy
I LOVED Siena!!!
It's only about an 1 hour drive from Florence and totally worth the trip!
I loved wandering around the town and soaking up all the Tuscany feel of Italy!
For more information go HERE, at least it looks like a good website.
Venice, Italy
Before you get started ... park in the parking garage Tronchetto, it's pretty secure and cheap.
(Go HERE for more information about it)
Then take the 'people mover' over to Venice. The 'people mover' is 1 Euro per person.
To get the most of your 'boat' experience take Boat #1 to Piazza San Marco, where St. Marc's Basilica and Doge's Palace are located. This boat stops at almost every stop but it has great scenery and tons of history to see. Below are some of the sites you see.
the market
Rock Labyrinth, Luisenburg Germany
This place is an outdoor dream for children. It's a rock maze winding in and out of rocks, trees, cliffs and such. You have to climb, crawl, and squeeze through rocks. You follow the BLUE arrows up the path and the RED arrows down the path.
