An afternoon with Doodles

The weather in Vienna has been incredible. It's been in the low 80's so Emily and I have been taking advantage of it and going exploring. We first went to the Butterfly museum gift shop to see if they had any fun stuff. They really didn't but Emily did get a postcard.
We also walked on the grounds of the palace and took some pictures. We then took the s-baun around the ring. The ring is the center part of the city. We stopped at Karlsplatz to see what we could find. We found and Italian ice cream stand and bought some to eat.
It tastes a lot like regular ice cream.
We went into souvenir stores and stopped at every fountain to cool off.
We were so tempted to jump in and splash around. We also stopped at the Manner store and bought matching t-shirts and lots of cookies and candy.
We could never buy too much of that. It was a great afternoon exploring. But the funnest part was the time I got to spend with Emily. She is such a fun and sweet person to be with. I love you Doodles!

That sounds like so much fun. I am so jealous. Maybe one day I can visit there. And the weather sounds perfect. Unlike the storminess of here. :) I am glad that you still have some stuff to do to keep you busy the LAST WEEK you are there. I love you.

Looks like you had a wonderful afternoon. Wish I could have been there too. Can't believe you'll be home in a week. It's hard to imagine. Love you all - Mom - Grandma Peck
