Quick overnight trip...

After being home all week with lil man- on Friday night... I decided we needed to do something fun over the weekend. I looked at some various zoos and such and then somehow ended up on booking.com...


Found such an awesome deal on a 2BR apartment in Prague (one of my favorite cities EVER)... that I booked it. It was 9pm Friday night when we decided to head to Prague the next day.
My absolute favorite section of the city is the Jewish Quarter. Not only is it full of amazing history and buildings but it is just beautiful. It is only a 3 hr drive- so we were there and checked into the apartment by lunch time.
We then headed to TGI Fridays... yummy American food!! Yay!

3/4 of the fam with Prague Castle across the river...
We have been to Prague before- so we were not interested in touring. The Castle is amazing but it is also like 500 steps to get up to it... not fun! lol

So- we walked around the city and stumbled upon the Lego Museum. For the equivalent of $20- the entire family got to come in from the cold and tour tthe museum...

After a yummy dinner at the Hard Rock- we walked to the Old Town Square. The kids ran around- while Lee and I sipped on some hot mulled wine... So amazing. To sit in the middle of this historic square and watch the kiddos play... These are the moments we will miss when we return to the U.S.







The next morning we had breakfast at a little place called Ebel Cafe. Totally one of those places that you question from the outside. When we went in though- so charming! The best croissants... toast... hot chocolate for the kiddos...


And a yummy hot tea with milk- that brought back memories of sitting in the B&B in York England.




My boys...



My second favorite part of the city- Charles Bridge. Usually it is lined with artists- that have the most amazing work! We were there too early though... so we just enjoyed the view!



Look at the steam coming off the water. It was probably 16 degrees outside...




Oh- and the BEST part of going to Prague...


These amazing beauties!


I absolutely love them. I cannot wait to go back and get more. These are all going to some very awesome ladies...



I will miss being able to overnight trip to other countries...


Prague- I adore you! I will hopefully see you Memorial Day Weekend!!!
