Family Adventures and Travels
In early March, we traveled to Prague for a long weekend staying at the Four Seasons within a short walk of many of the city’s attractions. Prague is a stunning city to explore by foot and admire the architecture spanning over eight centuries of history. Since the city didn’t suffer large-scale destruction during World War II,…
