Ieva's first spring break vacation was spent in Slovakia & Austria! Pretty impressive for a 5-month old, if we do say so ourselves. We spent the first week of March driving long hours, curling up by a fireplace in a quaint house in an even quainter Slovakian village at the foot of the snowy High Tatras mountains, skiing in those mountains (Daddy & everyone else went - Ieva and I wandered the streets of our quaint village saying hi to locals), and seeing the sites of Bratislava and Vienna, Austria. It was quite a week!We got to indulge a few of our American cravings for Starbucks, bagels and Pizza Hut, and do a little shopping in our favorite European
department store, H&M (which, unfortunatley doesn't yet exist in the Baltics). The 25 hour drive on the way home was a bit much...although I think Ieva slept better in her car seat than any of the rest of us did. We got home around 8:00am and she was awake & ready to start her day while Andrew & I were wasted! We spent the bulk of the day taking "Ieva shifts" which essentially entailed one of us being in a semi-awake state and in the same general vacinity as she was while the other could be curled up in bed, dreaming of snowy mountains.All in all, it was relaxing, beautiful, and fun...and now Ieva has 3 more countries under her young belt since we drove through Poland to get there. Anyone know of any "most traveled baby" contests we could enter her in?

Sounds like a fun spring break trip. we were able to go on a pastor's retreat in SC at the beach. It was the best quality time we've had since our honeymoon!
