Venice Canals...

We've been mixing business with pleasure over here at the Duckworth household.  We only have 8 days left as Californians, so we're in the process of packing everything up. While there's a lot to do at home, we're trying to hit our favorite spots one last time (and a few bucket list items as well).  I'll be honest, I've shed a few tears already.

Ever since the movie "Valentines Day" I've wanted to visit the Venice Canals.  One evening I decided to pack up my kiddos and go.  It was a gorgeous night and we had the best time walking around and exploring.  Its a cute little neighborhood, and my kids loved throwing rocks in the water and spotting fish and ducks and playing at the park.  Remmy snoozed the entire time in the Bijorn - her spot of choice - so I didn't get to document her presence.
 

I loved the bridges and little boats lining the canals.  The water was quite low, but I bet it is a gorgeous place when it is high and the boats can actually go for a paddle.
