On Wednesday night we packed the car and headed off for a 4 day weekend in Austria. We drove about 9 hours to make our first stop in Vienna. We got up early on Thursday morning and spend the whole day walking around Vienna to see Hofburg Imperial Palace, Stephansplatz Cathedral, Karlsplatz, Grand Boulevard, Opera House, Belvedere Palace, Schonbrunn Palace, Hundertwasser House, Parliament Fountains and much more. It was supposed to rain all day... but we were thankful to only get rained out for about 1 hour. This city reminded me of Rome, but without all the thousands of people like Rome has.

Sam, Kora Lily and I in front of (top to bottom) Parliament Fountains, Schonbrunn Palace, Belvedere Palace, Palace Gardens and the bottom picture is Austria's "Sachertorte" (Chocolate Cake) and Apple Streusel. Kora was ready for her bed... so Sam and I enjoyed our little desserts back in our room. 
Kora loved walking around the city. She didn't want to miss a thing and was wide eyed most of the day.

Things about Vienna: How pretty the city was even though the Sun wasn't shining, it was a Holiday so it was very peaceful city, Kora did wonderful, the Hotel was great, we will pass next time on the famous Chocolate Cake and Apple Streusel but are glad that we tried it, we walked ALL DAY, wish we would have taken the nice little horse and carriage ride all around the city :o) The city was bigger then we thought it was. Vienna was not in our original plans ... but it was worth the extra drive to see this beautiful city.
