Vacation: All I ever wanted

We just got back from Europe and Morocco and let me tell you, we had an amazing time.

We'll start with Italy.  We went on our honeymoon to Rome (we went to Italy and France) exactly 10 years ago.  It was my second time and Candice's third time visiting the eternal city.  We thoroughly enjoyed the stunning monuments and architecture, gelato and homemade cooking.  Neither of us had been able to go to the Sistine Chapel on previous trips so we made the most of our time and headed to the Vatican first.  As luck would have it, the chapel was open and ready to be seen.  Michelangelo was a genius and one of the best artist to ever walk the earth.  We both loved it.

During out time in Roma, it was hot.  We stayed at a mid level hotel because it was just a quick stop over and we weren't planning on spending too much time in our room.  Well, as luck would have it the AC went out.  There is more to this story, involving nudity and bad language but we'll save that for another time.

 There is something special about the gelato in Italy. 

One of the best things about visiting a place you have already been to is not feeling like you need to rush around checking out all the local sites and activities.  It was nice taking our time on things because we only had a day before we headed for Venice.

Venice is precious.  Pretty much anywhere you look, you'll find cuteness and adorability.  Again, it was killer hot, so we drank a ton of beverages and ate more gelato.

TV in the mirror, awesome

We stayed at Hotel Grand Canal, it was splendid and elegant.

Mostly we got lost a lot and ate more gelato.  Oh yeah, we shopped and made some awesome purchases.  Next stop Croatia....
