This afternoon we drove over to Schoenbrunn Palace. The girls were thrilled because they have already seen this palace in a "Little Einstein's episode. After racing through the palace glitz and glamour (trying to keep our kids from grabbing things and attempting to skirt past the big tourgroups), we made it out to the beautiful gardens, which go on for miles. The entire place is really almost Versailles or Peterhof worthy. But the favorite part for our kids was the "Tiergarten" (the zoo). Apparently, one of the Hapsburgs started collecting animals and made his animal park available to the public, creating the first public zoo in Europe. Unfortunately, our camera battery died before we got any pictures of this.
Lounging on the immense palace grounds. How would you like this as your backyard?
