Happy New Year!
We had a great New Year's Eve Party.
I have no pictures of Jake...aren't I awful? We had a good 45 minutes of fireworks at midnight and I fully expected Jake to wake up and come participate, but he proved me wrong and stayed sound asleep during the whole thing!
We had a pretty relaxing day today!
Happy New Year and have a great 2011!!!

Christmas Eve Gondola Ride
From our chalet in Austria, we were able to see the mountain, and it was a short walk (well, a long walk in ski boots) to the chair lift. But, my dad told me that we could only see about a 1/4 of the mountain, so I was determined to take a gondola up to see the views. Jake, Rachel and I went on the gondola on Christmas Eve. It was a short walk there, but of course, Jake fell asleep, and was crabby when we woke him up. But he recovered fast and liked his gondola ride, he kept going from Rachel to me.
It was really pretty going up, and the views were great. We bought a couple diet cokes and sat outside for about an hour. Jake had fun walking around and playing in the snow..or the ski racks!
We came home and had a really yummy Christmas dinner. Jake loves turkey and mashed potatoes!

Salzburg:Part 2
I originally wanted to write only one post for Salzburg, but it was taking too long to load the pictures. When we first got to Salzburg, we went to Hellbrunn Schloss: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellbrunn_Palace. There was a great Christmas market, plus a little petting zoo next to it.
Jake had fallen asleep in the car, so he was VERY crabby when we woke him up, then put him in his snow pants. He didn't appreciate it at all. We finally managed to get him to the animals and he was a little tentative at first, hence the side-eye in the first picture! The pigs scared him, they were getting pretty rowdy, then one of them ran to the fence! Jake DID NOT like that. He finally settled down and liked the donkey's and the lambs the best.
Then we walked around the Christmas Market a little bit, these are all over Germany, Austria and several other countries. It's like a big outdoor craft fair.
After the Palace, we went to Salzburg. We had lunch in a fantastic Indian Food restaurant. Jake is easy to feed there since he loves rice. And then we headed out to skate, which I talked about yesterday!

Salzburg: Part 1
I was only able to update part of my pictures tonight, the internet is just too slow! We had a rocky start to our vacation in Austria. Jake was really fussy from not sleeping well the night before, didn't really want to eat, went to bed early, then I woke him up going to bed and it was a disaster.
Luckily, he bounced back the rest of the week and was in a good mood. On Monday, the gang went skiing/snowboarding and my mom and I brought Jake for a long walk to check out the town. We were staying at a chalet in Flachau and the town is a long street that wraps around a small part of the alps. It's just gorgeous.
The chalet was really nice. You walked into a common area with benches and a television. Then there were two small stairs on each side that led to pods, there were four pods, which were our sleeping areas. Each pod slept four and had their own bathrooms. Jake and I shared one to ourselves. Then, each side had another flight of stairs going to the top floor. It was a big open space, with a kitchen that had a huge island, then two dining room tables, each had a really comfortable bench. We spent most of our indoor time upstairs.
On Tuesday we went to Salzburg. I was only able to upload part of the pictures. We went on a train ride at a Christmas Market, then we went skating, I didn't have my skates, but Jake absolutely loved being on the ice with my dad and his boots. He had no fear! He'll be ready for skates next winter for sure.

In Austria!
We are at the chalet! It's a really nice place, I'll add pictures later this week.
Jake is extremely fussy, he's probably very overtired, he hasn't eaten much at all, nor taken a bottle, but he's in bed early. I hope it doesn't take long for him to settle down!
Can't wait to relax and enjoy the vacation. I'm already well into a bottle of wine!
