Vienna

Every October we get a two-week break from school. Although we had lots of homework we also had many great adventures--and because Grandma and Grandpa F. were here, they got to join us!

Anna, Grandma, Grandpa and I got the opportunity to go visit some friends (the Minerts) in Vienna. Here are some of my favorite parts of the trip:

One of the highlights of the trip was experiencing Europe's second largest Ferris wheel. It was VERY high, but there were some VERY pretty views of the city.

Anna and I also went on the world's largest chain swing. (It took some persuading to get me to do it with her.) In the end it was tons of fun! We enjoyed walking around the amusement park.

We took a walk down the Danube river with the beautiful autumn leaves falling around us.

The food we ate was impeccable! Our diet included wienerschnitzel, goulash, some delicious potato salad and homemade cookies ;).

The last day of our visit we went to an apfelstrudel demonstration at the Schönbrunn Castle where grandma earned her apfelstrudel certificate, proving she's a pro.

After the demonstration, we went and toured the castle. It's the place where Marie Antoinette's family lived while she was growing up.

It was lots of fun! Let's just say I wish I was still on vacation...
