Europe

Kyle and I were able to take a wonderful trip to Europe, October 30th - November 12, 2019.  We flew into Munich.  Spent the day in Munich and then took a night train to Budapest.  We were able to explore Budapest for 3 days.  We then boarded the SS Maria Theresa for a 8 night cruise on the Danube River.  We visted ports in Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany.  We then spent a night in Regensburg and flew back from Munich.  It was wonderful.  A big thanks to my mom and dad who watched the kids while we were away!!

Here is a sneak peak of our travels.  These are the panoramic shots that we took throughout the trip.  I will try to post more details of our travels as time allows.
