The girls had fund burying Ian in the sand on the Lida beach.
The water and sand were both great.We found a park to let the kids play in on Venice.
Brad loved the springy things that he'd tip almost to the ground.
Brad and Ian were pretty good troopers while the girls shopped.
6-13-10 Sunday
Everyone was a little tired, so we slept in, then I went to the beach with everyone except Brad, Kindra, and Mitzi. As it was Sunday, the beach was extremely crowded. The girls buried Ian in the sand. I got burned a little on my back, as I was laying on my stomach reading my book.
We all went over to Venice proper late in the evening, not leaving to go over there until about 6-7pm. As we were going over there, I think 3 different cruise ships went past as they were leaving Venice. Most people get 1-2 days to visit Venice, similar to what Kindra and I did when we came here about 12 years ago. It will be nice to spend almost a whole week and be able to take some more of the vaporettos out to some of the outlying islands and wander around a little more. We got off at one of the first stops and started walking towards St. Mark’s Square. We got caught in a micro-burst wind storm that was blowing sand in our eyes, so we huddled around a corner in an alley for a few minutes. We decided to head back, but then it started dying down, so the kids played in a park. Brad got on one of those animal like things on top of springs that little kids rock back and forth on. He tilted it back and forth and side to side almost to the ground. It was pretty funny. We decided to head to the Rialto Bridge and then walk back to St. Mark’s Square. The girls especially loved all the mask shops. They stopped and bought several masks for themselves and some friends. Brad had to exercise patience while the girls stop in shops and look around. I think he’s also though enjoying seeing a lot of the sites. He keeps borrowing my camera and taking lots of pictures of things.
