It was a fantastic day!






The girls are enjoying the view and the weather.


After dinner we enjoyed a cruise along the Moscow River. The evening was cloudy but warm - 25 C degrees.


Dinner in the city at "Legato" Restaurant. Don't be fooled by Tim's face....it was a delicious meal!




Tom in his new fur hat.


We saw any and every kind of Russian souvenir possible to buy. Wait until you see what they bring home!




Chris is hungry for some "shasleek" - shish-ka-bob.




We finally arrive at Izmailovsky Park for some souvenir shopping - shhhh, it's a surprise :-)

Strolling along the "Old Arbat", a pedestrian shopping area, some of the kids ate at a cafe called "My-My" - pronounced in Russian "moo-moo" (hence the cow).





Stopping for a "photo op" along the Moscow River opposite the Kremlin.



The kids in front of St. Basil's Cathedral. The look on their faces says it all....



We stumbled upon a couple of look-alikes right outside of Red Square :-)



Our day begins on our own private "coach" with our tour guide Lena.
доброе утро из москвы!!
It's a sunny morning in Moscow. Today we will visit Red Square and Lenin's Tomb. We'll stroll along the Old Arbat and go souvenir shopping at the Izmailovski Market. Depending on the weather, we may take a tour of the city by way of the Moscow River.
