Yesterday we gave you some Venice hotspots. & today… just a mini recap.
You know the trip was a birthday surprise.
Like I ACTUALLY, LEGIT did not know where we were going. Maybe I played my music & diverted my eyes to keep the whole surprise thing going but really I had no idea until we were sipping champagne mid-air & they announced VENICE.
Venice is one of the most romantic places on the planet!
I LOVE IT.
AND I LOVE PASTA.
…AND CHEESE.
……..AND BRUNELLO.
& WELL, ALL ITALIAN FOOD.
Can you blame me?
Basically the trip was spent eating, relaxing, listening to Bossanova, enjoying my birthday, & we definitely turned on the whole romance card.
Michael put such thought into each detail & every little thing was very, very special. My favorite part of the trip was going to Ernest Hemingway’s ‘island’ to enjoy some lobster & chilled Pinot Grigio. Just an overall ideal day. Italians do it right, man. Plus there’s so much bread… sure do love bread.
Venice is so colorful, cute, & sweet. A must-see when you guys go to Italy! Has anyone been? How charming, right?
Three days in Venice was just enough & then we jumped on the train to Florence ( again, didn’t know where we were going ).
I’ll give you a Florence recap x itinerary next week. Promise.
In other news, I have nothing fun for you today. Basically we’ve been nose to the grindstone since our Italian return. Work, work, work. Which is fine. I prefer to bust ass, relax, bust ass, relax rather than half ass the bust ass part & the relax part, you know? So currently it’s 1:15 AM & definitely time to wind down the day. Super early day tomorrow.
