Vienna Day 2

Day two was the HOTTEST day in Europe. But it was fantastic because they had public water bottle filling stations all over the city!

We got up and Jason found a great place for breakfast so we just started walking. I loved the architecture and could feel how old these buildings were. Such history!

One of the many streets.

The food was amazing! This was our breakfast that held us over for almost the whole day. The restaurant was very popular and we were very lucky to just walk up and get a seat (most tables were reserved). The funny thing was the reviews for breakfast were great but every other meal there only got so-so reviews.


This is the Kunsthistorisches Museum behind us. We didn't have enough time in Vienna to spend in any museums but if we did, we'd have many to choose from.

We loved all the statues and thought how much the boys would have liked them too.

 Look kids, Parliament!

Jason really loved this building because of all the statues along the top of the building.


 Give me a kiss!



A statue of Mozart in a beautiful garden.

This was after we walked through the shopping district. We loved this old tower.

We were exhausted from all the walking so we needed to stop for a quick drink on our way back to the hotel for a short rest.

I fell in love with the city streets.

Our hotel in Vienna was called Wein & Design and was a wine themed hotel. All the rooms were named after different wines and all the decor was wine themed - including this cool slippers. And don't think these didn't make their way back to Atlanta in my suitcase!

The inside of our hotel room. Very comfortable.

After a bit of a rest we headed back out. I fell in love with these pieces of art outside yet another museum!




This always made me giggle - this was what you looked at when sitting on the potty!

Jason and I really enjoyed evenings of cheese, crackers and wine in our room. So many different choices that we don't get back in the states.

A few photos from our small hotel. These are the stairs.

That circled around the very small one-person elevator.


We found a very cool authentic Austrian restaurant and got to enjoy a lovely meal outside in their courtyard.


So good!

This was the name of our room.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
