Budapest, Hungary!
George Washington was even popular in Budapest!
Main city square in the center of Budapest.
We felt right at home!

Budapest was the first city that we went to. Even though it took us 7 HOURS to get across the border, it was well worth it! And we did have some entertainment. While we were waiting to go through customs, the car in the lane next to us got completely torn apart and searched. The guy was trying to smuggle cigarettes and had at least 200 cartons in his car! The city was so pretty and so nice! We only spent one day there, but we got to see lots of things!
First Vacation!
Room on the train. Oh yeah, I slept on that bed.....
SO excited to be going on vacation!
Wonderful toilet on the train! --Mom, you wouldn't have survived.
Getting ready to board the train! We felt like Harry Potter!
Inside the train station!
We got to go on our first vacation the third week in March. We went to Budapest, Hungary; Vienna, Austria; Prague, Czech Republic; Dresden, Germany; and Krakow, Poland. It was AMAZING!! I got to see so many amazing things! I absolutely love Europe! It is gorgeous. I have so many pictures of each country, so I am going to make a new post for each one.
St. Sophia's Cathedral

Bell tower that we climbed!
This is St. Sophia's Cathedral. It is the oldest cathedral in Kiev. When the whole city was destroyed, this building was not. They call it the saver of Kiev. It was so pretty inside! There were paintings on the walls that were from the 11th century. It was so cool seeing things that were here 1000 years ago!
Ukrainian Folk Dance Concert
Okay, I am a total loser when it comes to the world of blogging. I am sorry that I have been such a slacker! My goal is to be caught up with all of my ventures of Ukraine by the time I get home, which is in 3 WEEKS!! It's true that time does fly when you're having fun!
This was an Ukrainian Folk Dance concert that we went to back in February. They only come to Kiev one time a year, so we were really lucky that we were here for it! It was really fun and really cool to see Ukraine's traditional dances. They were amazing dancers!
