The trip was a success! The kids were fabulous. The hotel great! The weather perfect and we had enough time to see things at a nice pace. We visited the eagle's nest, the fortress, the abbey from the Sound of Music, a palace with cool trick fountains, a salt mine and the Altstadt in the city center. I think this was the first trip our kids loved (other than Legoland.) Micah declared that he "never wanted to go home."
Taylor got stuck in one of the fountains. An Archbishop of Salzburg built a series of trick fountains along a garden path. He would sit back and spray his guest with water and laugh at them while they got wet. He had fun getting wet too. It didn't take long to figure out were to stand to not get wet. 
Taking a break for lunch. 
On the self-guided tour. Our kids never have done well with tours until this time. They had their own audio device and seemed to learned from the information provided. Even Taylor played along for a while. 
A view of the city.
Climbing up to the Abbey and the fortress that look down on Salzburg.

Again... loving your scenery there :-) Love your pics that are taken by the missing child.. be it Micah or Sadie. LOL They're cute.. they do a good job
Oh! I LOVE Salzburg!! I wish i could go there again!
How nice you guys had a good time. And what great sites you got to see! What a great opportunity for the kids, especially because they actually enjoyed it.
I love that you guys are taking advantage of those kinds of opportunities. It makes me almost excited to see where we'll be after Maryland.
