In the middle of October Adrianne and I could elope for four days to Venice. My mom watched the kids. It is only a 50 minute flight for us. South of the Alps - in Venice - the weather was very pleasant (back home it just hovered above freezing). Since we both have been here several times already, there was no pressure to do the "must see" sights. Instead, we strolled the back alleys, hopped on a vaporetto (water bus) when we were tired and explored some lesser known parts like San Giorgio Monastery and Giudecca island. It was great fun. I researched some restaurants ahead of time, and so we could really avoid the tourist traps.My lunch (baby cuttle fish with salad & polenta):
