We had an entirely different vacation set up, but one of the people who was supposed to come along, was unable to go, so we changed our plans at the last second, totally on impulse (the one and only time we've ever done that), and decided to go some place 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.

| The time change was a bit much for our little one. He slept a lot, even at the toy store. |

| Look who's awake! Just in time to see the castle around the corner. |
 |
| The churches were beautiful, inside and out |
 |
| Every single meal we had in Prague was delicious! |

What a fantastic vacation! Definitely an adventure! Glad you enjoyed the country!
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day I'll visit. I do love traveling so.
Those churches! Wow!
I love traveling too and wish we did it more! You've been where I want to go (Hawaii)! :)
DeleteLove it - really want to go to Prague one day. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWOW that's quite a trip!
ReplyDeleteThe year my nephew that has Trisomy 18 was born we decided to have a Staycation. We just didn't know what would happen since only 10% make it past a year old. It was a fun time though. We did get a hotel. It was nice that we could go back home to get things if we needed. My husband was disappointed, but happy with our adventure choice.
I love Staycations too!
DeleteLove the photos & what a cool trip!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Definitely a wonderful place to visit. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I would love to visit Prague. The soup picture looks delicious!

Impressive Prague, Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures have confirmed what I've heard. That Prague is a wonderful place to visit. Was it economical?
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the most reasonably priced places we have ever visited, and the people were so nice everywhere we went!!
DeleteWhat a fine adventure you had. Love your pics.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful photos. And, yup, I've done a last minute vacation change; it's one of my favourite memories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog by the by; I'm enjoying your blog so much I am now your newest follower. =)
WOW!!! that was a great change of plans! love your photos.
ReplyDeleteWow how amazing! I love the photos. :)
ReplyDeleteOH you are killing me... It's been 10 years since I have been to Prague and I am really thinking it's time to take the hubby. I had the best times being there!! I got into a lot of trouble too...good fun trouble... Beautiful photos. Glad you got to experience it!!
ReplyDeleteDo you see the age of the older child we had with us? He was all up for that good fun trouble (maybe not the same as yours), lol. A surprise we hadn't planned for, but it turned out to be a great vacation in spite of having to reinforce our American house rules to him in a place that had very different ones. :)
DeleteWhat an awesome trip that must have been!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the virtual tour. I'd love to visit some day.
ReplyDeleteStunning sights! The only time we've ever decided to go somewhere less than a few days in advance was Williamsburg. It's only a few hours away and our favorite place to travel for relaxation. :D

Love the photos! I don't think we've ever had a change of plans like that. But one similarity was being in the Bahamas with Christopher and when we finally got to the big aquarium that I wanted him to see he was asleep. I woke him up and it was one of those, "What did I do that for?" because he couldn't get right and was not impressed with the aquarium.
ReplyDeleteTotally been there, done that (waking a child up for something they were less than impressed with ;) ).
DeleteLove it! I've never changed plans last minute, but bet it would be fun! I went to Prague last year and it is such an amazing place! Love your photos xxx
ReplyDeleteLooks like your family made a great decision! I LOVE that clock :)

beautiful... never been and we generally donèt change plans. but good for you for rolling with it
ReplyDeleteI love traveling... so if I have not visited the place, I would be up for it. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, I never ever would've thought to visit a place like that, but it looks awesome! I think I'm gonna wait till my little ones are older though--had enough of traveling through time zones with crying babies, ha! Yours looks like she did the best thing there is to do--sleep!
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos! I love Europe. I lived in Germany twice over a period of 7 years. Here's my page from my hobby blog where I posted a photo from my visit to Prague at

Beautiful pictures!! My sister has been there a couple of times, but I've never been.
ReplyDeleteI've never changed my plans last minute - I think that would give me major anxiety LOL.
