The past couple days have been very busy & a day off is coming very soon. Our feet just can't quite keep up with everything to see & do here!
Sunday - went to lunch & visited the Russian Museum. We spent over 3 hrs in the museum seeing icons, paintings, statues & folk art pieces. We also decided since we were still up - to venture out when they raised the bridges at 1:30am. A beautiful sight to see!

Monday - visited Little A. Another good day with him & it was so nice we got to take him outside to the playground. Later that evening - we met up with another family who is adopting as well. We went for dinner that turned out to be the worst food ever & we all resigned to never eat there again. Then we decided to get together again Wed evening before they head back.
Tuesday - Only one thing today - Peterhof. This place is so huge, there is no way possible to see everything here in one day, so it just means that we have to come back! We never went into the Grand Palace only walked the grounds & were there over 4 hrs! Needless to say we were exhausted when we left, but here's a few pics & a short video of what we saw today : ) (Peterhof was the home of Peter I the Great & was made to show the world how rich Russia was. Over 400 fountains of different shapes & sizes decorate the grounds.)
