For the boys birthday this year we took them to Prague in the Czech Republic.
Crossing the border!
From the top of the astronomical clock. We got an incredible view of Old Town.
Tucker wanted to climb over the edge and look down. Luke wanted to get back in the elevator and go back down. I think one of our children may be a little scared of heights.

Walking down the clock.
The Astronomical clock, I wish I had gotten a picture with better light. The clock was first installed in 1410 and is the 3rd oldest astronomical clock in the world. It is the only one still working.
We stayed in a flat instead of a hotel. The boys really enjoyed their bed and after the 6 hour drive had no interest in site seeing.
Wenceslas Square.
St. Vitus Cathedral.
Micah was trying to get a good picture and Tucker was trying to see the pic as Micah was taking it.
The backside of St. Vitus Cathedral.
One of the altars in the church. It was just a little creepy.
Changing of the guards at Prague Castle.
A marionette store.
While eating at the Hard Rock Cafe our car got booted! I felt like Lightning McQueen. This is what happens when you park in an illegal spot.
Wenceslas Square.
The Charles Bridge. On July 9, 1357 at 5:31 am Charles IV personally laid the first foundation stone for the bridge. This bridge replaced the Judith bridge that was destroyed in a flood. Until 1841 it was the only way to cross the Vltava river to get to Prague Castle from Old Town. I believe it is also the oldest stone bridge in Europe.
View of St. Vitus Cathedral from Old Town.
I have absolutely no idea what this is, but we parked next to it and it looked cool.
One of the bridge towers of the Charles Bridge.
One of the 30 statues on the St. Charles Bridge.
Micah and the boys on the bridge.
Me and Micah.
Micah and the boys.
Bridge Tower.
The Old Jewish Cemetery was the last sight to see before heading home. The boys and Micah sat this one out and I got to walk through it alone. The cemetery lies in the Jewish quarter of Prague. The oldest tombstone dates 1439. There are approximately 12,000 tombstones. The graves are on top of graves and it is estimated that there could be as many as 100,000 burials in all.
