This bottom picture is in Vienna at Schronbunn-I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong. Had the most incredible grounds and takes 1500 workers to keep the grounds and castle up. A man gave Austin a chunk of bread to feed the ducks and Austin got a kick out of that. After Vienna we headed over to Salzberg, Austria. We took the Sound of Music tour which was crazy fun! I'm standing in front of the actual gazebo used in the movie for the 16 going on 17 song. You can't hear me but I'm yelling "WEEE!" just like Liesel in the movie. The tour used to allow people to go inside this gazebo until a couple of years ago an 83 year old woman tried to jump bench to bench like the movie and fell. She tried to sue-she was probably American. The top picture is Tom holding hands with his Maria! We learned some interesting things on the tour like Liesel was actually a boy in the real Von Trapp family. The Von Trapp family refused to sing for Hitler's birthday party. The Von Trapp family escaped Austria the night before Nazi takeover and first migrated to Italy and onto America. Maria and the captain had 3 children together and one of those children runs a resort in Vermont. Salzberg and Prague were our favorite cities on this trip!
