travels

tessa and i had the best treat this month: our friend jenna came to visit! we got her going right away, and pulled her around prague's beautiful streets as soon as she got off the plane. we also got to travel to vienna, bratislava, and some other awesome places around czech. unfortunately the weather was cloudy and gloomy the whole time - it even snowed at one point! but we still had tons of fun.

i'll try to limit the amount of photos that i post! all these were taken by tessa.

jenna, we loved having you here! thanks for making these fun memories and for just being an encouragement and friend.

fabulous roofs and the castle from the Charles Bridge

early morning train to vienna!

quick stop in Brno, Czech's second largest city. we got there at like 7 in the morning before the markets were even finished setting up!

i honestly don't care much about starbucks - i was just thrilled to get a pumpkin spice latte!

AMAZING.

we spent far too much time in vienna taking pictures under this tree.
