Last trip to Vilnius

Rachel and I went to Vilnius in late May.  We wanted to pick up a few last Lithuanian souvenirs and we wanted to spend some time together without the kids underfoot before we parted ways.  We arrived on Saturday and did the normal Old Town stuff.  It was fun to visit our favorite shops "one last time" and to pick up a few final pieces of pottery and such.  We stayed in nice Holiday Inn and went to Trakia Castle on Sunday.  Here are some photos of our time at the Castle...
