Pigeons in Venice

Our first trip was to the Square. It rained while we were in the water bus on the way over, leaving the sky with beautiful hues. The Square is where there is a crazy number of pigeons! They land all over you! Lily loved them. I happened to be videoing when one landed right on her head : ) We walked back to the hotel through the maze of little streets amidst the canals with Lily sleeping in our arms. She woke up when we got closer to the hotel (a 30 minute walk later) and enjoyed her first of many gelattos to come. It was a really nice day. [July 4, 2007]











Hotel Dogeressa in Venice

The hotel was great...Lily especially liked the bedet!!!
Beautiful view, incredibly nice people (especially Lily's boyfriend Omar), and close to everything! Lily loved watching people walk by! And people loved watching Lily! We had breakfast out on the walk every morning. Truly the good life. [July 3, 4, 5, 6]


















Arriving in Venice

We took a water taxi to our hotel. The canals are so amazing to see in real life! [July 3, 2007]

Visiting Lou and Colleen in Lewes, DE



Lily and her parents spent another weekend at the beach in Lewes, DE at Lou and Colleen's beach house. We enjoyed a nice run, some great food, beach time, and relaxing at Lou and Colleen's house.
Note the booty sliding right off the chair...and how cute (and alike) Lily and her daddy look : ) [June 30 - July 1]
