Szentendre
The first stop was the small town of Szentendre where we took a little time to walk through the streets, see the sights, visit a marzipan museum (we have tons of pictures of sculptures made of marzipan) and visit a church. The town has a lot of Serbian history and the cross in the Main Square is known as the Plague Cross, put up to give thanks from being spared from the plague epidemic. The 11 year old had the camera for a lot of this trip, taking pictures of the scenery. 
Visegrád
The second stop on our trip was a little further up the Danube to the castle at Visegrád.
This was the kids' first visit to an actual castle/palace, but they
didn't seem all that impressed. We explored what was left of the castle
rooms with our tour guide, then drove up to the high point to look over
the river before heading to dinner. Couldn't
resist taking pictures on the thrones, especially since we were there
out of business hours and didn't have to pay the 200 forint fee :) Dinner was
at a Renaissance Restaurant so we arrived to drummers who escorted us to
the restaurant. Before going in, we stopped for some pálinka.
(I couldn't finish mine, haven't acquired the taste yet.) There's also
this little thing they do where they crown a King & a Queen, and the
natural choice seems to be the couple there with the most kids...
