Schoenbrunn



My first night into the city of Vienna was awesome!  Nicole White (the previous nanny) took me in the day after I arrived to show me around.  Our first stop was....the bus stop?  Not exactly the coolest place in town but it definitely led to one of them!  We rode the disgusting city bus for a very long 45 minutes and got off only to get on another form of public transportation, the U-Bahn.  blah.  People always say that public transportation is sketchy, very unclean, and just all around unpleasant and....they're exactly right.  It was definitely not fun.  But when we finally arrived at our destination it was amazing!  Not only because it felt great to get off the train, but also because we were now at a huge and beautiful palace called the Schoenbrunn Palace.   Just past the entrance to the majestical building were the Schoenbrunn Gardens which was where a Phil-Harmonic Orchestra concert was being held!  Now I know the picture of me at an orchestra concert and being excited about is probably not computing...but it truly was amazing.  It was beautiful, peaceful and full of Vienna culture!!  The only bad thing was that when it was over...it was back to the bus.  :)

  1. I know I'm not supposed to covet but dang girl! You are soooooooo LUCKY! Enjoy every experience, every palace, and yes, even every public transport! Haha!

    Last night we watched a chic flick with your mom, Penny, Kelly, Carlie, Kristen, and I....it was horrible! Your mom threatened to never watch a movie with me again!! LOL! So it's nice to know that you at least are becoming cultured while the rest of us get our brains turned to mush with movies like Bride Wars. What were we thinking?

    love and miss you,
