I have so many photos and memories from our trip to Europe this summer that it's been overwhelming. But I'm ready to take it on and share our incredible trip with you.
For those that don't know, Jason earned his company's awards trip for top sales. This year the company flew us to Prague for four days and we tacked on a couple days in front and behind to do a little exploring on our own. The first two days were spent in Vienna, Austria.
After a long overnight flight we arrived in Amsterdam to make our connection, but due to thunderstorms in Atlanta on the outbound we missed our connecting flight and had to catch the next, which was fine because we would have arrived too early in Vienna for our hotel to be ready. So instead we had a couple hours in the airport lounge to enjoy some food and champagne (and take a little cat nap).
Austria has always been on my bucket list of places to visit (ever since I saw The Sound of Music as a child). And even though Vienna was across the country from Salzburg it was just as beautiful.
We checked into the hotel and then just started walking - so much to see in just a couple days!
Above is the Natural History Museum.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum - the buildings were amazingly beautiful.
Look at the architecture.
We happened to stumble on a Film Festival in the middle of town with all these international food and drink booths. It was the best find since we wanted to be out and about in everything. Jason got some kanagroo (surprisingly delicious) and I got some seafood dish. The weather was pretty hot but luckily we found a table in the shade and some yummy adult beverages.
Jason snapped a photo of me taking a photo of him to post on Facebook.
This was where they had the screen set up to show movies.
After we ate we moved on to check out more of the city.
This was a beautiful park across the street.
This is the Hofburg Imperial Palace. It was the largest palace I had ever seen.
Not long after this we headed back toward the hotel to call it a night. We stopped for a quick drink before we got back to the hotel and I was so tired that I was falling asleep at the table. Jason got quite a kick out of that. But once we got to bed that night I slept for 11 hours. I don't think I've EVER slept that long - at least not since having kids.
