Vienna, Austria (Magesties, Meltdowns, Magic & Merrymaking)

We got up that morning after Mike went in search for breakfast and hopped on the metro towards the Shoenbrun Palace. We took the Palace tour and looked for his and her royal magesties, let the kids play in the gardens, and then retired to the old town. Sienna in desperate need of a nap decided…

Prague (Storm the Castle) – Then back to Vienna, Austria

The next day we woke up to our first PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) in over a year from Starbucks and set out to conquer Prague Castle. We took her there by way of the old Charles bridge and toured the castle. Definitely recommend Prague Castle for any tourist. The castle itself is a must, the cathedral beautiful and…

Prague (The Welcoming of Aunt Jamie!)

So, with the arrival of one of my best friends and the lack of internet connection and the face that I broke my PC, we have neglected our blog for the past few weeks. My apologies for the unedited pictures but at least you can still where we have been. Prague. In a flurry of…

Prague (Mysterious Yet Transparent)

Prague – an enchanting city…. Mysterious yet transparent, at every dark corner there seems to be a tale that has yet to be told or one that has been forgotten and is ready to be discovered. A city cloaked in mystery, yet at the same time bearing all she has to offer. Don’t get me…

Prague (Midieval Bands, Meat & More Ziplining)

Today – I was back to work, but Cierra had the opportunity to take the kids on a nice tour of the city. Again, we haven’t been in Prague since we were pregnant with Sienna, so it’s been quiet some time. Cierra had a great day with the kids that included the cool yet somewhat…

Vienna (Austria) to Prague (Czech Republic)

//www.youtube.com/get_player Half way to Prague from the day before and still with a lot of track ahead of us, we opted for the early exit of Vienna. We would be back in less than a week, so there would hopefully be some time for sightseeing later. The trip for Cierra, Sienna and I went well….

Villach to Vienna (Austria) & The Channeling of Jason Bourne

This day started off pretty boring enough, but ended pretty exciting. We were up and at’em from Lienz, Austria. We found a cute little hotel at the last minute, called Dolomitenhotel the night before. Somehow we ended up with a corner room, a bed for everyone, 2 balconies and an all you can eat breakfast…

Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italy & More Passport Stamps

After a great night’s sleep in Hotel Amfiteatar and a fun filled day of exploring Pula, Croatia it was time to head back north. Fun was over. JIt was time to get back to work. I had to be in Prague by Tuesday for a big conference, so we had to start heading that way…

3 Slovenian Seaside Cities & Pula, Croatia

Well this day started off pretty interesting. First of all, the night before as we parked the car on the way back from Ljubljana, I looked at Cierra and said, “I don’t know how I’m going to get that out in the morning”. There was only one spot in the entire parking lot available and…

Lake Bled & Ljubljana (Slovenia) – You are a Gem!

We are all so SO so SO happy to have had the opportunity to see Slovenia. It is one of those places you always hear about but really don’t know much information about. My first impression is that it reminds me of Austria meets Italy meets Czech Republic. You can go to the beach in…

Italy – Genoa to Milan to Venice to Trieste

Well, we arrived in Trieste after taking a few hours in between the long haul to have lunch in Venice. Our trip north included stop offs in Milano and Venezia. Uh, there was no way, we were just going “through” Venice. There was definitely going to be a stop-off. And Venice was gorgeous of course!…
