Salzburg was such a nice change of scenery. It was a beautifully picturesque town that straddles a mountain (you literally have to walk under the mountain to get from the residential side to the commercial side!).
Making the trek through the mountain from our hotel.
Mozart's childhood house
We went to the Salzburg salt mines. It was hilarious! You had to dress in special clothes and ride the rails down to the mines. Definitely a tourist spot but we got a kick out of it.
In the mines: German/Austrian border!
The mines were up in the beautiful mountains above Salzburg. The scenery was amazing.
There was a little Nordic village recreated near the salt mines.
Mom, this chicken coop is just for you!

We found a great cemetery. Mom, these are for you!
We rode a funicular train to the castle overlooking the city.
I have no words. . .
There were hundreds of locks with couples' names on them. This one cracked me up!
Frankfurters- our favorite German meal!
Tyler and I decided that we're going to retire to Salzburg when we get older. :)

It looks like Mom needs to go to Salzburg!
That's just what I was thinking. I LOVE that place! Maybe I'll retire there.
Hey Lisa! You guys covered some major ground on that trip. It looks beautiful, especially the sunset pictures. Gorgeous!
