Salzburg

This trip was a little disappointing to Seth and myself. We must be getting old or something because we wanted to see old buildings like where Mozart was born and where they filmed the Sound of Music 50 years ago. The kids didn't.
We spent most of the beautiful day indoors looking at really cool exhibits. And the kids had a blast. Being a parent is give and take.
The parents give and the kids take.
I do think this was the most fun all the kids have had since we have been here.

They got to look at the inside of some animals with an interesting lift-the-flap display.

 Try skiing.

 Do a wheelchair obstacle coarse.

 Try ski jumping.

 Watch a skeleton ride a bike.

See how big a life size whale heart is next to Papa.

 (With a photo bomb from a random kid.)

 

After the museum we headed outside, after it had cooled off a bit and a few clouds had rolled in, we did get to see some neat things.

 Some random painted cows.

A giant chess board.

 Some old buildings.

 The inside of a beautiful church.

 The outside of a different beautiful church.

And the place where Mozart was born.

 

All in all it was a great day. Salzburg is only an hour drive. It's closer than Munich. So we will probably go back. I am learning why there are peak seasons for traveling. Buildings here are really cool, but the grounds look so barren with all the snow and ice. I would love to see these places in full bloom. On the plus side there weren't that many people to witness our six kids fighting over the one ice cream cone we bought.
