We had an entirely different vacation set up, but one of the people who was supposed to come along, was unable to go (my son because he couldn't get the time off from the military). So...we changed our plans at the last second, totally on impulse (the one and only time we've ever done that). We went someplace we'd never been: Prague, in the Czech Republic. It ended up being a fantastic decision, and instantly became one of our family's all-time, most favorite places to visit.
My teen getting his Prague on...and he quickly learned that dress shoes aren't always the best choice for a long walk on vacation. Something his mother had to learn on her own too, many times over. ;)
The time change was a bit much for little man. He slept a lot, even at the toy store.
Look who is awake, just in time to see a big castle around the corner. :)
Changing of the Guard at Prague Castle
The churches were beautiful inside and out.
There was no shortage of things to do.
This is a staircase in the National Museum.
It's pretty impressive, right? The museum itself was really great too.
Even the teen liked it, and he thought he was beyond the years of enjoying museums. ;)
We explored Wenceslas Square after we left the museum.
And I'll finish by mentioning the food. There was not a bad meal to be had in the city of Prague. Even the breakfast was delicious!!
Our visit to this city will always hold a special place in my memories, and I'm so glad we made last minute changes to make this our destination. How about you? Have you ever changed vacation plans at the last second and it turned out to be a very good thing?
