Well, we are at least more rested than when we left for vacation...and the kids are definitely ready to start school on Monday. (Mommy still has reservations) We had a great time in Hallstatt, Austria. It is just a 4 hour train ride from Vienna and then a 10 minute ferry ride. The town was absolutely gorgeous and very quiet and quaint. We spent some time exploring a salt mine, visiting an ice cave, doing lots of fishing and swimming in the lake and eating our share of eis (ice cream). We had a great time just relaxing, not having an agenda and enjoying the views of the mountains for a few days.
Now it is back to reality though, and tomorrow we head off to get our school supplies and passes for the kids to ride public to school. We did a trial run last week and we think we will need to allow an hour to get to school...yikes. We are hoping this goes smoothly, once we get in the groove. Now I am off to unpack our bags and start the laundry...oh the joys of coming home from vacation!

I LOVE that picture!! Glad you had fun. Have a great time at school kids! We'll be praying for you. love, Kim
Hallstatt is on my list of "must visit" places. I had a small picture of Hallstatt from a calendar years ago - 7 or 8 or more. I had saved it b/c it looked so nice, but it didn't say the name of the town or anything. A year or two ago, Brian randomly found the same photo on Google images - this time of course with the name of the town. I can't believe it's so close now!
Good luck with school - for both you and the kids! Brian and I start language classes at the University of Vienna next week.
So glad to hear that you had a bit of refreshment... much needed at that. We will be praying on Monday for everyone's first day. Maybe we can skype sometime then so our kids can see each other?! Missing you...
