Italy

August 4, 2025

We had an Italian summer adventure and it was a DREAM! 10 days of perfecto! We traveled to Venice, Florence, Lake Como, and Milan – each stop was better than the last! Well, Lake Como was better than all of them but every place was magical. I took well over 1k photos so get ready for several days of trip photos! πŸ™‚

Our adventure began on Thursday night flying out of Atlanta to Venice…

We arrived to Venice around 11am and took a car and then a water taxi to our hotel, Londra Palace.

Our hotel was perfection! Great location, excellent room setup, and so nice!

I didn’t even get a picture of our incredible balcony with the best view! We got freshened up and went out to explore!

We stopped in shops, got some pizza (which the kids insisted was their favorite for the rest of the trip) and pasta, and walked all over Venice!
