Celebrating 5 Years In Venice

Our Europe trip will end where it began, and we are back in Venice, Italy. Today we are celebrating 5 years since we stood in front of family & friends and made lifelong commitments to each other.

The day started with us leaving Salzburg, Austria and driving through the Alps towards our anniversary destination. We are staying at a hotel right by the airport as we have a VERY early flight to catch tomorrow morning.

We found our way to San Marco’s Square, and after touring around the place, decided to rent a gondola to take us around the city. The ride was memorable, even though our gondola sailor didn’t sing like they do in the movies.

We found a fancy restaurant to have a romantic dinner together. Richard gave me a yellow gold bracelet that had white gold hearts with diamonds in each heart (sigh). We had a wonderful time! We ended the evening by finding a small shop and grabbing some gelati for dessert. You know you’ve gone to an expensive restaurant when your meal covers about ¼ of your plate, and you leave just a little bit hungry!
