Austria

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This week marks the start of Alphabe-Thursday Round SIX!  This time around I thought I'd try to stick to a theme.  (We'll see how it goes)  I'm going to go with TRAVEL.

A is for Austria.  Oh, I wish I could be there this weekend!  Austria is a great place to go in the weeks leading up to Christmas.  The Christmas Markets are Amazing!  We were able to visit several times while living in Italy.

{December 2007 - Hellbrun.  I must admit, I added the snow with picmonkey.com, but it DID snow while we were there.  It was FREEZING!}

{December 2007 - Salzburger Christkndlmarkt.}

{November 2008 - We actually had Thanksgiving here at this castle in Millstatt, Austria.  Calvary Chapel's Schloss Heroldeck.  It was a last minute, thrown together dinner by an American chef who happened to be staying there at the same time.  It was AMAZING!  Looks like they now offer Thanksgiving weekends complete with turkey dinner!}

Thanks to Jenny Matlock for hosting another round of Alphabe-Thursday!

  1. It looks so beautiful. I have always wanted to go away for Christmas but have never been able to. I am lucky enough to have other obligations and family members who need to be right here. But, if I could go somewhere I would take them all and celebrate away

  5. Austria is so beautiful. I've never been there, but was in northern Italy and the photos look "familiar." Love the squares and the Alps! {:-Deb
