Travels!

While we were in Germany we were blessed with some additional funds which were specifically designated for us to be able to travel a bit while we were there.  This was such a huge blessing and allowed us to do something that there is no way we would have been able to do otherwise.   We asked some people at the base (mostly Europeans ;) where we should go and the winner was Vienna, Austria!

Joel and I were able to slip away for about 3 days to explore Vienna, we did a ton of walking and lots of admiring the amazing architecture in that city.  There were TONS of people there also, Vienna is definitely a tourist spot, but it was still incredibly beautiful.

We did the touristy thing and took a ton of pictures while we were there, mostly of giant cathedrals, but I thought I'd share a few with you since it's been SO long since I last blogged! (woops.)

Out of over 400 pictures I have narrowed it down to this... unfortunately it's still a ton of photos :S

Annnnnd there you have it.  A shortened version of our rendevous/mini vacation to Vienna.  It was an awesome trip and Joel and I were so blessed to be able to get away just the two of us for a few days.

 What have YOU been up to lately?

Much love,
Joel & Carrie
