This building is now a glass blowing museum. I hope we can go one day!We took this Saturday to be tourist in the city. Ok, not full blown out tourist, but we took some pictures and bought a few souvenirs! It was a fun day though a bit cold. Adalynn fell asleep right away in her stroller, so she was quite good while we were shopping...not a peep! Then we went to the coffee shop and warmed up with a cup a coffee!
The Golden Gate
Philip and Adalynn in front of the Golden Gate. This used to be the gate into the city when Vladimir was the capital.
One of the bus stops...last week we got on a 5 trolley bus instead of the 5 bus. Bad mistake. We were actually coming home from our field directors' house (we had dinner with them that night) so it was about 8:30pm. Well the 5 trolley bus took us to the train station instead of where we thought we were going. We ended up standing in the cold (like -20F or something terrible like that) for a little bit while we waited for a taxi. Philip, my awesome husband, told the driver, in Russian, our address and off we went. Thank goodness for a taxi! I will avoid all number 5 trolley buses.

Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and baby Gwen
