Our final destination in Romania was Bucharest.
Our lodging was a two bedroom apartment on
the 10th floor of a building in the center of town, with playgrounds
on either side of our building. I’m
telling you, my travel agent does it right!
We packed up the kids and headed out for dinner.
On a Random Note: Juliette has a strange attachment to my hair. She even falls asleep while she's holding a strand of my hair.
After a walk resulting in only 1 time out
(yes, Brady got a 4 minute time out in the middle of Bucharest. We aren’t above sitting our kid down on the
side of the sidewalk) we found a place to eat.
Unable to read the menu and a waiter who wasn’t quite as helpful as the
last time we encountered this issue, I ordered something I knew was going to
have chicken in it and it came with some kind of salad. Greg ordered something that was going to have
sausages and some kind of meatball. My
plate came and I had ordered fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and a
tomato/cucumber salad. I always knew my
Southern roots would never fail me!
During dinner I told Greg I hoped our walk home wouldn’t
seem too long. We begin to walk back to
the apartment, only to realize after walking quite some distance, we had no
idea where we were. This tradition of
getting lost started about 7 years ago when Greg and I wandered the streets of
Ireland on our honeymoon. Exhausted, we
collapse in our apartment and never again will I talk about wanting a short
walk home.
Our second day in Bucharest was easy to figure out what to
do. Practically everything was closed
and the only “child-friendly” museum open was The Village Museum. This was an outdoor museum that was home to
churches, homes, windmills, presses and other structures throughout time in
Romania. It was perfect because the kids
could run around and we could read the signs in front of the houses (generally unheard of!).
Brady found a blue house that he said Smurfs live in- even taking a peek in the window to see if they were home.
After spending the afternoon napping and playing, we were
refreshed and ready to board our plane bound for Turkey!
