Babymoon-Prague

Hubby decided we needed to go away early for our 5th anniversary. I thought it could also count as a babymoon.  I am never opposed to going away. We just have a small, wild, 2 year-old detail that we need to consider. Do we force him 8 hours in the car to miss out on sleep and fight over new food? Or let him stay with his favorite cousins? Sounds like an easy decision, right? Did I mention you can't let him out of your sight for more than a minute and he requires a lot of sleep? However, we decided it is easier to find a babysitter NOW than in a few months for TWO kids. Once we got the sitter issue settle, the rest was easy.

We have wanted to go to Prague for a while. We planned to drive there. To some that is strange, but as I have mentioned before, we have an international fuel card from hubby's work, so it only makes sense to drive.

We left Saturday morning, drove about 5 hours and stayed 2 nights with hubby's aunt in Germany.

Monday morning left to drive the remaining 3.5 hours. Our first stop in the Czech Republic was Pilsen.  Here was not close enough to Prague for the locals to speak English. Thankfully there was an English menu (if you can call tons of misspelled words, French or German words used as English and funny descriptions a menu). Our first cultural experience was that you order the meat from one list and the side from another. I found this rather annoying, because normally restaurants serve what they think fit best together, but it is the Czech way to let you decide for yourself.  I took Chicken and Potatoes. They had a sauce and were delicious!

Here are some photos from the trip so far.

Tons of Coocoo clocks



They have bread bowls in Germany and Czech Republic. Why not in Belgium?
