The day after my mother and father-in-law headed back to the U.S., my sister, Tracey, came to visit us with my nephews, Alex and Nate. They spent five weeks with us, so part of that time we took off on a trip to hit the three capitals closest in proximity in the world (unvalidated): Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna. Jaxon and Nate are in the airport ready to leave Switzerland behind.
Arriving in Budapest, this was one of the first things that stuck out to me: graffiti on the escalator. Although it isn't very good, it's a creative idea!
Our apartment accommodations.
Although I briefly visited Budapest about 12 years ago, my biggest regret was missing the thermal baths that the country is so famous for, so he first thing we did the morning after we arrived was hit the Gellert thermal baths. It was absolutely amazing! Pools of all temperatures, saunas, steam rooms. This place was plush.
After the baths we headed to the Great Market Hall. We picked up some delicious goulash and browsed the souvenirs, but the kids were most excited about the fountain that they discovered out front...
We then took off an a long walk along the river and through the water district to get to our next activity.
Finding cool statues along the way.
And cool hats.
We arrived just in time to get to our seats to watch a traditional Hungarian dance troop.
We all enjoyed it, but I think Jonas was the most inspired and started showing us his Hungarian dance moves as soon as we hit the sidewalk outside
And after a wonderful and exhausting day we headed back to the apartment.
