Sound of Music

We just got back from Salzburg, Austria and had an awesome time seeing the sights. It is mainly know as Mozart's birthplace but it is also where the Von Trapps lived and where they shot some of the movie. I loved the movie growing up so I was so excited to go on the Sound of Music tour and see some of the areas where they shot the film. The tour was a little cheesy playing the songs on the bus but I loved it!! Another post coming soon from the rest of our trip but blogger is being slow with pictures!

Here is Chase in the Mirabell Gardens. They ran through this while singing do-re-mi.
The Gazebo!

Our wonderful tour guide and Chase. Everyone loved him and he did really well.

The place where they shot the back yard scenes.

The church where Capt and Maria got married.


Back to the Mirabell Gardens. This is where they end the Do-Re-Mi song.

Another view of house that was used for the back gardens.
