Since we have been fortunate enough to be here for awhile we have been able to establish some routines. Scott and I have switched roles for the summer. He has to get up and go to work, and I take care of things around the house. This includes, laundry, dishes, lunch packing, and grocery shopping. We go grocery shopping just about every day, so that we don't have to eat out every meal. There are two grocery stores within a 5 minute walk of the house. However, let it be known that Scott still makes dinner! He does a great job and I am ever so grateful that he does! Now about the house...
There is one characteristic that sets this home apart from others in which we have stayed. It is built in a rather vertical manner. The stair case you see in this picture is the stair that connects this home's 51/2 floors. It has all the normal living areas, it does not occupy an entire block, it is simply built...up. Can you say daily workout? This house has ALMOST cured me of forgetting things that I need with me at any given time. 
On the ground floor is the entry way, where all shoes live, and a bathroom. (Scott's shoes are not in the pic because he is at the museum measuring skulls.)
Down one flight of stairs is the kitchen and eating area and the utility room. This is the area that Scott and I have turned into blogging/planning central with our laptops as you can see in the pic. To the right of this table and chairs is the kitchen. It's all part of one open room. Down three more steps (thus the "half" floor), is the TV room, another eating area, and a bathroom. Sorry, no pic of that. 
Up one flight of stairs from the ground floor is living area, ya know...with some couches.
Then up one more floor is the master bed and bath, and a study/computer room. Sorry, no pic of the master bedroom.

Finally, the top floor is has two guest rooms, and two bathrooms. The room pictured here is the one we stayed in. From the lack of luggage and clothes in the picture you should correctly assume that I took the picture after cleaning up our stuff.
We are enjoying these two short weeks of stability before we embark on about 2 weeks of bouncing around from country to country before we land in Vienna for awhile. Hopefully we'll be in great shape for our travels thanks to the vertical house.
