    🏝️ Fridays ~ Venice Style

    We recently enjoyed a spontaneous night out in our beloved Venice!🏝️ Since returning from our travels, we’ve been laying a bit low—it’s the craziest time of year here, after all—but we were starting to miss the swaying palms and golden sunshine along Venice Ave. So we snuck away from our desks a little early on…

    🇦🇷 Day 4 in Mendoza: Saving the Very Best for Last 🍷

    And so, we come to the fourth and final day of wine tastings in Mendoza. And to say we hated to see the trip come to a close would be an understatement! But our home in Venice 🏝️ was calling, so we valiantly departed the hotel for the final three wineries on our list. But…
