We made it to Venice!

By -

During our 4-hour bus ride, we made a few stops at truck stops for food and bathroom break.  Emily and Amity were shocked at the Costco-sized junk food.  After a water taxi, we made it to our hotel, the Hotel Mercurio Venezia.  Great location close to St. Marcos Square.  We walked around for a bit then met with the group where some of us did Gondola rides.  We later had a group dinner planned which was nice.  Man, the waterways are busy!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
