As our three-week honeymoon adventure through Italy was winding down, we arrived in Venice for one of the final stops on our journey. We were staying on the colorful island of Burano at Casa Burano, which made for the perfect home base. After a big breakfast at the hotel, we boarded a boat and headed into Venice for our first full day of exploring. This was my second visit to Venice—I had only spent half a day there years ago—so I was excited to experience more of the city and share its beauty with my husband for the first time. Even before we reached the historic center, the anticipation of wandering through the canals, bridges, and winding streets made the day feel special.
