Last Days in the Land of Christmas Markets

On our last full day, the older kids and I woke early to go see the sunrise from Charles Bridge. Doug volunteered to stay behind with Keira while she slept.

Depending on the lighting, the bridge can look like an historic backdrop, or

a creepy setting for a movie.

Funny enough, these three attend an online school whose "thing" it is that when you see/meet another student from that school, you are supposed to touch elbows, take a picture, and send it in to the school.  I never sent this in to the school, but it is so funny looking at it now, because it no longer looks like a Northstar Academy picture, it looks like a social distancing picture during Covid, even though it was taken three months before lockdown.

After Keira got up, I took her and Caleb ice skating while Doug took the older girls off to explore more places in the city.

Caleb was a patient teacher.

Later that evening, I took Caleb, Keira and another friend with us to the Gallery of Steel Figures. There were tons of sculptures inspired by movies, cartoons, history, and legends, and they were all made with recycled metal parts.

She really does love him.

While the Emperor was battling with Darth Vader, Doug and the girls were out having a good time in the city.

And then we all met up for brick oven pizza for dinner.  We were so hungry!

The next morning, we all walked through one of the markets to catch a bus to the airport.  

Vacay over, but SO many memories made!
