Vienna: The overdue visit with the brother

It has been about 3 years since I had seen my brother and his family.  They even managed to have a new baby in that time that Shea and I had never met.  So off we went to Vienna to see everyone!  

Vienna is the second most livable city in the world right now.  It has been one of the best cities to live in for quite some time actually.  Right off the plane, you could see why! The train system was very easy to figure out and the transportation links were very accessible.  The city is also very pretty. It was definitely created to show the wealth of the Austrian aristocracy.  

The Stephansdom. A very beautiful church with a tiled roof. 

The city at night.  They light up most of the buildings. 

One of the many beautiful parks throughout Vienna.

Schonbrunn Palace.  The summer home of the Royals when there were royals in Vienna.

Inside the Museum of Military History.

A statue of Mozart.  For a guy who never really lived in Vienna, they sure to love him!

Unfortunately, Arthur was still getting over pneumonia and was not able to join us much during the days.  But we had some great tours thanks to Vera.  She was very knowledgeable of the city and knew all the great places to eat! Plus we had constant entertainment thanks to the kids! These two kept us laughing!

Shea and Little David hiding!

Vera and David waiting for cake! 

Jessie decided she did not want her picture taken.

But then she changed her mind! All smiles.

Vera and the kids exploring the gardens at Schonbrunn Palace.  The ducks were a huge hit for Jessica.

The kids loved looking through the stone rails and waving to the ducks.

Of course, we had to take a selfie!

And another one with Beautiful Vienna behind us.

David took this one!

The three of us enjoying the view!

There are lots of great German signs to make you giggle!

Because Arthur could not join us much, this is basically the only picture I got of him.  Isn't Jessie silly?!

We had a wonderful time visiting Vienna!  I don't think it's that livable though because no shops are open on Sundays and all the stores shut down at 5pm. London may not have as many parks, but at least we can buy groceries and alcohol whenever we want!

We can't wait to see these guys soon!
