RUSSIA | 8-26-09 -- 9-11-09

My father and I took a little trip to Russia to visit my birthplace, St. Petersburg. While we were the I got a chance to visit all the popular sites and historical landmarks that make up the 300 year old city. It was more beautiful than I expected and even the 1,000+ pictures I took didn't do the city justice.

Below are only a handful fo the pics, but emcompass all of my stay. Enjoy!
