Venice and a Sparling Reunion

Milestone 900th post :)
The final stop of our European Road Trip was Vicenza, Italy.  Chris and I loved Venice when we visited in November of 2011 and wanted to take the kids there.  It's just a short drive from Vicenza, so we braved the heat (and August crowds) on Thursday.

A big reason we made our final stop in Vicenza was to see the Sparling family.  They just transferred to Vicenza and we were very excited to have a reunion with them.  Here are some flashback pics of the summer of 2007, the last time we saw each other.

Here we are now!

Cheers to making more memories in Italy!
