St. Wolfgang, Austria

St. Wolfgang is a place so nice we've been there twice!  It has been our little secret getaway location, but it is too good not to share, and we are moving within the next year, so we need to get the word out-St. Wolfgang is a must, so hurry and GO!

We love where we stayed, it was a great surprise to find, and so wonderful.  When we got to Hotel Garni Buchin we were asked if we wanted an upgrade to a lake view... Once we saw the view we were sold.  Do I need to do any convincing here?!?

I love all the flowers on the balcony, and the view speaks for itself really.

Bode really enjoyed the balcony too; look at that smile, he is ready to get out and play!

One of the best features about the hotel is is their wooden rowboat that you can take out onto the lake.  The first time we went Jordan took me on a nice ride, showing off his soon-to-be #dadbod.

Our first experience was so great that we came back again with Bode.  We met lots of hotel guests and found out that they too had been coming back year after year.  The hotel has been in the family for generations, and everyone who visits becomes a friend to the family!  The weather our second time around was wonderful, we all got some well needed sun, and relaxation!

I even went paddle boarding and didn't fall in!

Bode loved playing with the hotel owners children.  They had lots of toys to keep him occupied and had a great time playing.

We took our bikes in to town for lunch and found a great spot-so great we ate there twice!

Will you look at this BBQ smoked pulled pork burger from BBQ King.  It was SO good, the garlic  aioli, fresh quality greens, and delicious meat.  I really liked it with the spicy siracha they had, all for under 5 euro too! 

Bode was happy to explore the town

The afternoons we spent cooling off in the lake.  One of the nice things about the lake (along with the clear water) is that the lake has fresh water, so no salty residue on our body to wash off. 

Bode got a swim lesson from daa-daa

And we really enjoyed our ride on the wooden boat

Love this cheesey boy

In the evenings it was time to bike back into town again.  Bode loves his bike seat-and the windshield protection keeps all the bugs from flying into his face.  People thought he was so cute on the front of the bike, and he loved playing with the bell.

We ate dinner at Mirabella, which is a genius of a restaurant because of how family friendly it is.  We asked to be seated in the family room, which had a play room off to the side, so kids could play while waiting for food and parents could enjoyed themselves.  I can't tell you how many times Jordan and I have had to take turns at restaurants eating while the other is holding Bode/taking him on a walk.  This made our night, letting him play to his hearts content.  P.S. the garlic bread was great!

We enjoyed biking along the river after dinner!

I think we wore this little guy out!

We had a great time in St. Wolfgang, sad to leave such a beautiful area, but if we ever come back this way, we will be back to our little gem. For your viewing pleasure, Bode enjoyed drivng home.
