Prague

Martin has spent the last 2 months traveling between the Bay Area & Prague for his most recient work project. Because of the time away and long travel study the company flew the family, for a week, along with Marty to Prague, in the Czech Republic. To go along with Marty was an incredible perk and an opportunity we could not pass up!!

The kids were great on the flight.


Do you think we packed enough?


Our 2 bedroom home-away-from-home




The first Day we brought the rain with us, but after it let up we had fun in a park near our hotel.




The boys loved playing in this historic tree- maybe we weren't suppose to be in it? Oops!






Day 2- Shopping trip to the Palladium, tram ride, long walk along the Charles River (all while Marty was at work) and dinner in Wenceslas Square.














Wenceslas Square- the epi-center of the Czech Revolution.








Bryce was so tired and jet-lagged he fell asleep on Marty's shoulders


Day 3- The Prague Zoo. Sarah was very proud of her ability to find her way back to the hotel from the zoo, via public transportation with the boys alone in the city.

We were 39th into the zoo.

The Polar Bear was so close! I think he wanted the little boy next to Jack for lunch.

Silly boys on the zoo train

The Monkey enclosure was amazing. The monkeys could climb above your head, although the monkeys were lounging under a tree on the day we went, the only monkey was Jack.




Our Czech lunch at the zoo:

After a nap we went to a local play ground and to our little favorite Italian restaurant down the street from the hotel- we ate there night one as well.




Jack and and Bryce each met little people to play with, Jack and the little boy played trucks together. They spoke a common language- rummm, rummm, bang, the sound of trucks driving...
