Prague? Czech!

Approximate step count: 17,500. Most of this was in Vienna, some in Prague.
The hotels we've been staying in have had breakfast included. Today's
breakfast was the best. Our hotel was really nice and let us leave our
bags there today while we went to Shönbrunn Palace. The exterior and
gardens were most impressive. While we were walking in the garden a
spider crawled on Kristy and she had a major freak out. We had a good
audio guide that explained a lot of the details of each room in the
palace. Next the boys went on an outing to see some of the building we
walked past last night while Shannon, Kristy and myself went to a
chocolate shop/cafe for dessert. Kristy had been there before and was
very excited to take us there. The desserts were beautiful and our
Rose/Raspberry macaroon and chocolate cake were pretty delicious. I
also really liked the gelatto we got down the road. After that we
collected our bags and made it to the train station to head to Prague.
Funny stories were told on the train. A funny thing happened also.
Kristy misread the military time and told us our train ride was only 3
hours instead of 5. We almost got off at the wrong station but we
figured out pretty quickly and kept going. We landed and walked to our
hotel. We were only confused a little bit when navigating there.
Prague is beautiful at night. We strolled through Old Town and found a
nice restaurant to eat at. The food has been good during our whole
trip which has been nice.
We've already had some excitement at our hotel. As soon as we dropped
our stuff off Kristy noticed two giant spiders and had an even bigger
freak out. She was brave enough to kill one and had Ty kill the other.
Now that dessert is here I'm going to say goodbye. As of right now
Prague is worth a visit. Czech it out.
PS- figuring out the dividing of the dinner bill was far too
complicated considering the amount of college education at the table.
