Ciao, Dad!

Verona, Italy

Grandad has just spent a week here in Europe and we were able to show him Geneva and take a trip to Italy together.  Dad and I first spent a weekend in Rome, then he headed off in a car (solo!) to drive through Tuscany and finally meet up with us a few days later in Verona.  After a quick tour of the city of Romeo and Juliet, we hopped on a train to Venice.  It is even more beautiful than we imagined and it was a special treat to share it with my dad.  Italians are lovely and welcoming and the city of canals is one of our favorites so far.

Orchestras perform in the square all the time.

We made it to the lamp store for my sister Amy and Dad bought her a little (very little) pretty.

Not sure what could possible be wrong with Kami while walking through moonlite canals.

Geof splurged for a Gondola ride.
