For my birthday weekend, we took a weekend trip to Vienna, Austria. Aaron had a long weekend, so it was the perfect time to venture out of Italy. We left our house right after 5 on Friday morning, and didn't arrive until almost 1! Aaron was a trooper and drove the entire way.
The mountains were beautiful!
I found an apartment on Airbnb that was in a great location. The best part was that we had our own private rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
We were on the top floor on the right.
Our apartment for the weekend.
Our fabulous view.
Aaron bought me a single rose for my birthday so we could take it with us.
Connor found his favorite spot in the house: the stairs, of course!
Once we got settled into the apartment, we went for a walk and ended up on Mariahilferstrasse: Vienna's largest shopping street. It wasn't very far, and the weather was really nice.
Our street.
Churches that we can see from our apartment. The top one is down the street, and the bottom one is in front of our building.
So many shops!
We were starving since it was after lunch, so we stopped at this Asian/pizza restauraunt. It was a little weird that they served such a variety, but it was really good.
After we were done eating, we walked for a while before we got tired and headed home for the day.
Connor liked walking instead of being pushed in the stroller.
Europeans love their scooters.
Aaron had an espresso and Connor had to have it, so once he finished it we put water in the cup for Connor.
When we got home, we were pretty tired from such a long day. Connor snacked on pears, and then we heard the church bells. Oh those church bells... they rang EVERY 15 minutes, then every hour they rang to tell us what time it was, and at 7 every night (and 7 on Sunday morning) they rang for even longer. They sounded beautiful and Connor loved them! Every single time he heard them, he stopped what he was doing and said, "bell." Then put his arms up so we could carry him to the window to see them.
Snacking on pears.
Listening to the bells.
We went up to the terrace to watch the sunset, and then Aaron played with Connor while I made dinner.
Connor wasn't scared to stand on the ledge.
Sunset.
The church bells were ringing...again!
Easy dinner that my hubby requested: grilled cheese and tomato soup.
We had a fun first day! I can't wait to share with you our second day.
