Austria/ Slovakia

Aaron had a few days off over Easter weekend so we decided to make 
Vienna, Austria our next place of exploration.
on Mariahilfer Straße, a busy shopping street
getting ready to see the Lego movie…saw Captain America the following day :)
Wienershnitzel!
enjoying the sun while we wait for Madame Tussauds to open for the kids

Yummy Strudel!

We took a self-guided tour inside.

Taking the Subway around is so much better than driving!
One night we ate at a Turkish restaurant. 

on the rooftop of St. Stephen's Cathedral

We went inside and watched the trainers work with the Lipizzaner Stallions.

excited to go on some rides at Prater



One day we took the train to Bratislava, Slovakia. 
It was less than an hour away so we decided why not!
