Dresden

We said goodbye to Prague
and heading back home.
On the way home the weather
cooperated and we got to
stop in Dresden, Germany for a few hours.

Dresden is another city the mixes the old 
with the new.
It is also a city that
we need to go back to visit.
We only had a few hours
 to spend there and that is truly 
not enough time for a city of this size.


 We visted  a few of the historical sites, grabbed 
lunch and checked out the very nice mall!







 Then it was back into the van to head home.
We will have to plan another trip back to Dresden,
so we can really explore all the city has to offer.

The kids decided to eat their gingerbread cookies
that we got in Prague on the way home.
 I had to get pictures of them first.
It was another great 4-day weekend and road trip!
We had a blast and I am already planning 
our next road trip.

Prauge Day 2

On our second and last full day
in Prague we headed out early to
get some pictures of Prague's
astronomical clock.
 The clock is over 600 years old and is the
oldest working clock of its kind in the world.
It is located in the Old Town Square.




 Next to the clock I found another door. :-)






 The details around this door was 
a work of art.

 We then headed back across 
The Charles Bridge.

 It's a historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river.
It connects Old Town with the Prague Castle.

The bridge is lined with 30 statues, that 
were originally built around 1700,
 but are now all replaced by replicas.

 The statues and views from the bridge 
are amazing.



 I found another door at the end of the bridge.



 While exploring the city we found a sign for Hooters!
We try for the most part not to eat at chain resturants
when we travel, but it's been over 2 years without
some good hot wings. 
So off to Hooters for lunch we went!
 Sweet Boy's first time at Hooters.
The food was amazing and it was fanciest Hooters
we had ever been in.

 We checked out a toy store.

 The Diva!

 We did a little more exploring as
 the rain clouds rolled in that night.


 On our way back to the hotel
 I found this:
It made Mr. PC and I smile.
As I often say that phrase!

Prague is a city that is a great mix
of the old and the new. 
It is one of the few places that 
we have visited that both Mr. PC
and I would visit again.
