Zoo Day

Eric started work and had a good day today. The kids and I headed to the Vienna Zoo. It is in the Schonbrunn area which has more than the zoo. (other museums, a Palmhouse, a huge castle which was the Hapsburgs summer residence... all of which we will see on other outings!) The zoo is the oldest in the world, but it was very nice and large. I think we will probably buy yearround passes there....very fun and cheap!

Evan has a very funny zoo story with pictures to post, but it is late so I will let him post tomorrow about it. Stay tuned.... :)

Eric has a work friend that is in town on business so we went out to dinner with him tonight. It was nice to see him and enjoyed his company. Of course, we hit more ice cream on the way home. I have packed on some lbs and look forward to a home routine which will include more structured workouts and less food!! :)

For those of you that know how I love to Crossfit, I received good news today that the Crossfit here has a fair monthly rate so I can join - yeah!! I do need to check it out first, but I am optimistic. I am addicted and have missed it soooo much!! (For those that don't know about it - contact Tracey or Trevor White in Tri-Cities....they are opening a Crossfit Gym off of Gage Blvd!!)

We have new family orientation tomorrow morning at the American International School (AIS)... the kid's new school. We are all very excited to see the school and the facilities as well as meet some teachers/parents etc.. We are also supposed to meet at our flat to do our 'walk thru' and are hoping to sign the lease tomorrow too. We hope to sleep there on Wednesday night....

I suspect after sleeping on air mattresses and eating on our card table and chairs for 8 weeks we will wonder why we were in such a hurry!?!
