Our Holiday In Croatia

Last week, we went on a little vacation to Dubrovnik, Croatia.  It was absolutely gorgeous and so nice to finally get some hot weather and sunshine!  We got lots of pool time and beach time and also got to explore the old, historic part of the town.  While we were there, we also celebrated my 34th birthday and our 7th wedding anniversary.  It was a great trip and we highly recommend Dubrovnik as a vacation spot!

Soaking in the sunshine by the pool.

We loved our view and the room was perfect for us - a 2-story suite with a bedroom upstairs for Chris and I and a living room downstairs where Nathan had his own little trundle bed that pulled out from the couch.  Nathan loved it and we all slept well!  We highly recommend the Vallamar Lacroma Dubrovnik.

It was so nice to lay out in the sun.  We don't see enough of it here in London.

Nathan stayed up past his bedtime one night to see the sunset.

Nathan loved throwing rocks into the sea.

Spring-time Fun

Thanks to some nicer weather, we have been able to enjoy some time outside in London's fabulous parks!  This month we also went to the Sensational Butterflies exhibit at the Natural History Museum again (this time with Dad); took Nathan to his first play (a puppet reenactment of one of his favorite books - We're Going On A Bear Hunt); and made a new friend at Purple Dragon--Harper Beckham.  Harper and her daddy, David, were in our cooking class a couple of weeks ago and then ate lunch at the table behind us (so, of course, I had to snap a pic :)  The next day, Nathan got to play with Harper again on the slides!

Ready for Little Kickers.  Can you tell that he is slightly obsessed with Manchester United?
