Europe

We are back from a fabulous trip to Europe. Our itinerary consisted of Prague, Rothenburg, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, and a 5 hour layover in Amsterdam. The weather was cold, but the the sunshine was out, so we were able to dress warm and enjoy the sites. My two favorite cities were Prague, Czech Rebublic and Rothenburg, Germany. All the cities were amazing with beautiful cathedral churches, cobblestone streets, unbelievable architecture buildings, and of course shopping and dining out. We rented a car to travel from city to city and had to drive on the autobahn. It is SCARY. We were driving 80 mph which is fast for me, and cars were passing us like we were standing still. It was so nice have Matt all to myself for a week, but I think towards the end of the week we were both really missing the kids. We are already dying to go back and visit some other cities such as Rome and Paris, but for now we are happy to be back with the kiddos who I missed soooooo much. Thanks Mimi for watching the kids!

Here are just a few pictures of our trip. I took almost 300 pictures. Gotta love digital cameras!

Wow. Looks like the trip of a lifetime. How nice you got to be together... and know your kids were well taken care of. Also nice they are old enough to leave! So, just curious if it was a trip for any special reason, and why you chose those cities/countries? I think trips are the best things to get us excited about our kids again! So glad you got to have such an amazing trip! You deserve it!

Beautiful pictures and beautiful people. You can tell you two are in love (of course, a week without the kids probably helps that :D). I heard your flight was cancelled. Hope that wasn't too traumatic. Thanks to Matt for subbing for primary right after such a long trip.

How fun! I loved Salzburg! I haven't been to those other cities though. Your pictures are gorgeous. It makes most of the architecture in the states look rather boring, doesn't it?
Glad you guys had fun

Wow - sounds like a great trip. It would be hard to leave the kids that long...but I am glad you got to go and enjoy yourselves. I don't envision a trip like that in our future anytime soon...if EVER!
