Prague, Czech Republic

We spent Presidents' Day/Valentine's Day weekend in Prague. Kurt planned the trip for us as a nice, relaxing get away weekend. Prague is a beautiful city with a pretty skyline, lots of shopping, and a slower pace - we both looked forward to just relaxing for the weekend. Prague is only about 5.5 hours away so we left Saturday morning and arrived in town early in the afternoon. We crossed the Charles Bridge right around sunset and were amazed at the beautiful view of the castle and other bridges on the river. After a traditional Czech dinner of Czech beer and goulash and dumplings, we headed back to the hotel for our complimentary drink at the hotel bar. On Sunday, we climbed Petrin Hill to the Observation Tower, a replica of the Eiffel Tower for an amazing panoramic view of Prague. Afterward, we toured the St. Vitus Cathedral inside the Prague Castle wall. We both agreed that the stained glass in this cathedral was probably the most gorgeous we've seen. Unfortunately, after lunch, Carrie came down with a mild case of food poisoning, and after a long, messy walk back to the hotel, we just rested and relaxed for the evening. Monday morning, we had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and a nice walk around a nearby mall before beginning the road trip home.
