We Czeched..Czeched it out- Prague 2012

What an AMAZING weekend we had in the Czech Republic. It is safe to say that Matt and I fell in LOVE with this city.. which was totally not what I expected! I had heard how amazing Prague was prior to our mini vacay, but words can not describe what it feels like to actually be there. It is a culturally rich city, with friendly people, amazing history, great food, and a lot to do and see. I was just sad we were only there for a day and a half.. I will DEFINITELY be making a second trip there. A downfall... the six hour drive :( Although it was cloudy while we were there, we had a great time and I had fun taking pictures. I hope you enjoy them!!

It was a chilly rainy morning when we left

Matt rocking out to jams and excited we just crossed the czech border

On our way!


Had to stop and get a vignette in order to drive on the highway!

I was driving at this point.. Matt saw this cool billboard

Wittlich Pig Fest!

Matt and I went with friends to the Wittlich Pig Fest this weekend. We definitely had a better time this year, going with a group, and later in the evening! The main highlight this year was the delicious roast pig. By far THE BEST pork I have ever had and look forward to it next year!!!

Mmmm so delicious!

Getting all set up for the band

Stalls sold food, beer, wine, and souvenirs

Wine!
