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!

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

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.
