How Venice is Different From My Hometown

By -
Venice is one of the most unique cities I have ever seen. I could name a hundred reasons how different it is from Georgia. But I will just name 6 right now.

- First of all, in Venice there is water for the streets, and boats and gondolas for cars and transportation.



- Second, well Venice is in Italy so that means there is a ton of pizza shops and restaurants everywhere! I know Dunwoody has a lot of restaurants too like, Mellow Mushroom, Jets, and Dominoes, but here, you cannot walk a block not seeing a pizza/pasta place. Oh yeah they were also ranked the best ice cream so you can't walk a block either without seeing an ice cream stand!

- So the third thing is, there are so many more churches and beautiful ones that are so old and special. They look super amazing in the outside and even more great in the inside.

- There are a ton of apartments everywhere you look. In dunwoody there is mostly houses.

- There are sooo many tourists and nobody really visits Georgia that much.


- And the last thing is there are so many alleyways to get lost in. In Georgia there are big open wide streets.



So that was my blog on Venice!

In 2017, our family of five (3 kids ages 9, 8 and 6 at the time) embarked on a global adventure for one year. My husband and I decided to home school our children and take them on a journey of world exploration -- exposing them to various cultures, people, food, religions and everything else in between. Grateful for this privilege and our amazing experience. Exploring Venice, Italy on the waterways Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -- Mark Twain I had planned the first three months of our trip to Europe when we were still in the States, hitting the countries of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Croatia.

Hello NYC!!

Day 1: We arrive in New York! Wow, are we so tired. We just came off a plane flight from Denver and had to wake up at 4:30 to make the shuttle ride to the airport. It is 10:00 AM right now because of time change so we are going to get some lunch because we are SO hungry (and tired).  So we check into our hotel room which is barely big enough to fit us and take a quick shower. Then we go exploring! We walk to a restaurant that my mom had planned before, which happened to be about 45 minutes away, but New York is fun to explore so we of course just walk.  My mom told us along the walk that we were going to this restaurant called “Stardust.” So apparently, people that are good actors and singers that wanted to get a job on Broadway come to this place to be waiters. They sing songs, they also have lots of entertainment, and awesome milkshakes. We ordered and then watched all the waiters sing. It was incredible! They even had confetti! The down side, we had to wait for abou...
