We might need to try this again some time. It really isn't the easiest thing to do with three kids and a stroller. In addition to the narrow cobblestone streets, it is a very steep climb! To make matters even more adventurous, we passed by a huge bank of stairs. Cole smarted off to the kids (before remembering being bulletproof at that age), "Hey, you guys want to climb all those stairs?
Off they went.
Cole counted 129 total. Katie counted something like 302. Each time we'd reach the top of some stairs, we'd find more stairs that were out of view from the bottom. Katie and Dani made it to the summit of their mountain before continuing on to the castle.
But by the time we were at the castle's (admission) gates, the kids and the parents were too tired to try to go in. The girls were a bit cold...but not too cold for ice cream! Claire had been pretty grumpy, but ice cream makes everything better.
Refreshed from our brief adventure near the castle, we hopped a bus and came home. And as it always works out, kids are fascinated by the part of the trip that parents find the least interesting. In this case, it's public transportation. Cindy aptly remarked that one good outing for us might be to simply ride the buses all over town. Seeing as how this was the highlight of the girls' trip, she seems like she's absolutely right!
