The flight to venice was uneventful and the kids handled it great. We connected through Frankfurt and, upon arrival in Venice, took a water taxi to Campo Santa Maria Formosa where we stayed at The Palazzo Vitturi. We ddid all the tourist stuff but with Megan and Matt leading the way, we saw and did not-tourist things. We had a great chicetti tour, small appetizers with a glass of wine. Our last stop was one of the coolest wine bars ever, I Rustegi, tucked in a dead end campo near the Rialto.
