Too Long

This is only the second weekend since Christmas where we've had absolutely nothing planned. It seems that our weekends have been taken over by traveling (not that I'm complaining), cooking for friends, being cooked for by friends, baby dates, shopping, errands, etc.

It's been so easy to forget what it feels like to rest, spend time with our little family and get ready for the week ahead.

We resisted the urge to go to the commissary, the px, Lidl, and the red cross all for the sake of doing nothing, going nowhere and just being home.

It was lovely.

Meatloaf really took this to the extreme by sleeping for 44.75 hours of the entire weekend.

Rhett really got into the spirit of R&R too...

(oh gosh, i just love him!)

Good thing we had this weekend, as the next two weekends will be busy as we head to the "land of the wooden shoes" (sorry to reference Sex and the City there but I couldn't help it) and prepare for Chad's long departure. Boo.

Prague Part 2

Even though we slept horrible Saturday night, we decided we couldn't let it slow us down and after breakfast we headed to the Jewish Quarter of Prague.

Our main goal was to visit the Old Jewish Cemetery where approximately 200,000 Jews are buried. The earliest of gravestones dates back to 1439 and really is an amazing sight.

After our walk through the cemetery we headed to Old Town Square just in time to have a beer and watch the Astronomical Clock do it's thing.

We walked through some back alleys to avoid the typical tourist traps and found a great Czech pub and stayed there for too long.

We purchased some Czech pottery and then headed back to the hotel.

It is here where I wish I could tell you about the Sex Machine Museum or Pretin Hill but those weren't meant to be. There were so many more things I wish we could have seen and done while in Prague but I guess those will have to wait for another trip, preferably, with a healthy baby boy.

::Part 2::

Old Jewish Cemetery

Rocks or coins are left behind by those that visited this grave.

Old Town Square

(Shelly, a friend of the Brewsters, who has visited Prague on multiple occasions told us the story of the Church of Our Lady (below). The right tower is clearly thicker than the left and so it represents the female and the thinner tower (the man) is protecting her from the wind. So nice.)

See the Saints in the windows?

Goulash in a bread bowl... yes please.

And of course I can't forget to mention...

our little man is a big 6 months old!

(that's a 6 there by his head, in case you thought we were just taking this ridiculous photo for fun.)

Oh boogie, we love you!

Prague Part 1

I wish I could gush about Prague and all it's wonderful qualities... unfortunately, we didn't see that many of them. Our overall sense of enjoyment was greatly affected by the fact that we had a sick baby who we had to lug to a Czech hospital (actually, 2 hospitals) and a should-have-been-five-hour-seven-hour-drive-with-screaming-baby that left all of us completely drained. Some highlights did include the Czech beer and my hunter boots, which worked out perfectly for the occasion.

Rhett and I ready to hit the road (please notice my much loved boots here)

((Also, Carly, if you read this, that is your package... the one I said I'd mail a month ago, sorry.))

Prague Castle from our hotel room...

Wenceslas Square

The National Museum

Hotel Evropa (famous Art Nouveau Building)

Yes, those fish are doing exactly what you THINK they are doing.

Old Town Bridge Tower

Charles Bridge and Prague Castle

Don't know it's name but it was delicious...

St. Vitus's Cathedral

Shortly after we visited the castle, we had to take Rhett to the hospital so that pretty much summed up the rest of our Saturday. Three taxis, two hospitals and Czech McDonalds.

Prague Part 2 tomorrow...

I feel like I should mention here that Rhett is fine... he has a cough but he's on the mend.

Last Weekend...

Filling the gas tank, shopping at the Red Cross, picking up a turkish dinner at the REAL, watching airplanes, walking the dogs, and enjoying the sunshine.
