Travel Highlights Vienna and Paris 2010

Wow.  Our vacation was fantastic.  We had such a great time visiting with M and K and seeing the sights of both Vienna and Paris.  L did wonderful on all of the flights, with the time change and with all the excitement.  She was so interested in all the new sights and sounds (thank you everyone for speaking German and French to her!) around her. 

First Train ride into Vienna, from airport.

Highlights:  Having M and K see L for the first time and watching them fall in love with her during our trip, carrying the stroller up/down stairs, L's face while watching the Eiffel Tower 'sparkle', Der Mann hot chocolate, all the attention from strangers that L received (she attracted smiles, peek-a-boo, handshakes and kisses from all variety of people, young/old, hipsters/business men, children/flight attendants, the Austrian's especially love babies, it is beautiful), brunch at Cafe Gloriette overlooking Schonbrunn Palace and Vienna, coffee/wine/dessert in the restaurant on the Eiffel Tower, family photographs on our first vacation, L's new jacket, coffee at Hotel Sacher, talking/sharing/planning with M and K, four course dinner in Paris while L slept in the stroller at the table, the crazy drunk at the Paris Metro who was telling everyone "SHHHHH the baby is sleeping", seeing Vienna through the eyes of a child at the zoo and library, and so many others...
