Movin' On Up

We are in Warsaw! The flight from Krakow was less than an hour, and we arrived on Sunday afternoon. We thought our new apartment would be nice, but we were a bit worried that we had built it up so much in our minds that we would be disappointed. We were not! Here are some pictures of our journey:

This is Michael the night before we left, clutching his new Krakow dragon pillow.

We didn't have much time for breakfast before we left for the airport, so we decided to quickly buy pretzels from one of the kabillion pretzel vendors in Krakow. The kids got mini pretzel necklaces, which they thought were totally cool.

That is, until we came across a cafe that served waffles over the counter (which somehow magically fit into our time frame)

This is everyone making a W for Warsaw soon after we arrived.

Home Sweet Home!

If you have ever wondered how a family of seven and all their luggage get from the airport to the hotel, the answer is that big van you see in the background.

This is Justina. She is one of the girls that works at the concierge desk in our building. She knows everything about Warsaw, and that makes her my new best friend!

We are on the 19th floor, which means we have great views, but also means that I am terrified when someone goes too close to a window. It doesn't help that apparently people here aren't that worried about safety (except of course, in the case of waterslides) and the very big windows swing wide open with enough space for an adult to easily jump through. I am considering tying everyone to the floor with a safety rope.

This is our bedroom. Love it!

This is Lily in the girls' room. She really does like it. I am not sure what was with the pouty face!

This is Julia in the boys' room. This will be the only time in his life that Owen will have a T.V. in his room! He is more than a little excited.

Michael and Julia in the kitchen. They said it was fully equipped, but it doesn't have oven mitts, a spatula, measuring cups or a peeler. Apparently, they did not consult a mom about which contents to include!

A couch that can fit all seven of us!

We were instantly in love with our beautiful new apartment. However, the part we were most excited about, since we do love to eat, were the 2 bags of food and goodies in the fridge that PwC left for us! Thanks PwC! We love a good snack!

I have more to post about our time in Krakow, but I was excited to show you where we are now. Soon, I will finish up the posts about Krakow and then on to new adventures in Warsaw!
