It is even more special during Carnival. Every where you turn you see the gorgeous ornate costumes. People scurrying off to parties and galas. All the restaurants and coffee shops are packed with people enjoying life and trying to stay warm. It is truly a magical place and one of the best experiences of my life. I get tears in my eyes every time we take that taxi up the Grand Canal. I have been there now 3 times. Each was very special. First time was on my honeymoon in July of 1999. The second was carnival in February 2006, and the more recent was a day trip with my dad in June of 2007. All of them have been great experiences, but Carnival was captivating! Here are some of my photos: Enjoy!
I will write another post on where to stay in Venice soon! We have stayed at 2 magnificent places!

Beautiful pictures and costumes~ so much nicer than Mardi Gras in New Orleans! :) I saw your party on Creative Hostess. I'm currently having a Easter/Spring Tablescape and Parties contest with prizes totaling over $300. Spring parties can be so many things. I say when in doubt post anyway!! Here are a few themes that would work be a spring party~ garden, garden fairy, bumble bee, chick, flowers, ladybug, frog, owl, birds, and tea party to name a few. I think your daughter's party would be a wonderful entry.
