VIENNA: Downtown

Rob woke up the next day still a bit jetlagged -- and we all felt a little lazy as you can see -- so the kids climbed in and we all had a snuggle.

Tyler soon got the bed back for himself.

We took the bus and subway into downtown Vienna and it all worked out pretty well. We had a wonderful picnic lunch in a beautiful city park and then took the tram toward the Opera House and then to Belvedere Palace. Belvedere Palace is now an art museum with some great works by Klimt, including "The Kiss," which Rob really wanted to see. Unfortunately, one of our children had a tantrum in the Klimt room, so we didn't stay long. Below is a picture I took of Mara with the ostrich. When she was a baby, I spent a summer with her family. When we took her to the beach, she would just bury her head in the sand. Hence, we called her the Ostrich. Little did I know she would grow up to be a great babysitter for my kids.

Where do I put the money guys?

This is how we got around most of Vienna -- all three kids in one stroller. It worked well until Mariah toppled off, bringing Tyler with her. Fortunately, he was buckled in and had his "roll bar" up so he was unharmed.
