Helloooo! Well, we've had a few things going on so the blog has been neglected. But I want to post pictures from our last two trips this summer - Croatia and Italy. The first week of August, we flew to Split, Croatia and stayed there for a night at an Airbnb. Split is a big city with a great downtown area full of outdoor cafes, a huge jewelry market and is a main port to a whole bunch of Croatian islands. We spent 5 amazing days in Croatia - we absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, very touristy with people from all over the world and inexpensive.
One of the many beaches in Split...
Noah bought a sweet raft for the kids. He about passed out blowing it up.
Afternoon at the beach.
Me and Finnster looking for a lunch spot.
Sophia became a little fish this summer. She loved all the hotel pools and lakes/oceans/seas we came across. She met a friend this day, Thea, who we played with at the beach all day and then coincidentally ran into that evening at dinner.
Time for lunch! Emmett was (and still is) obsessed with this squirt gun.
Taking a lil break for some fruit. It was HOT in Croatia and Italy.
We sat at this cute little square for a while, waiting to catch our ferry.
These two. Always eating.
Walking to find some food. We could almost always find something for Soph and E to eat; Finnster was a bit harder. We survived on the basics all throughout Europe - baguettes, cheese, salami, fruit and ice cream :)
Arriving at Hvar island. We took a 2 hour ferry from Split to Hvar, and stayed at a great, family friendly resort full of kids, a pool, ping pong tables and cheesy Croatia music at night.
Heading out of the port.
Washing hands at one of the many fountains.
The town of Jelsa in Hvar. We walked all around the tiny streets and alleys.
This old guy with no teeth was schooling tourists on olive oil and prosecco.
Our patio in Jelsa. We stayed at a resort which was made up of 300 apartments, all right on the Adriatic. We had a 1 bedroom place almost everywhere we stayed. The kids got used to sleeping on a pull-out couch. Emmett was always in the middle!
View from our patio - ping pong table right on the water.
Walk down to the sea. We swam at the hotel pool, but played here a few days.
Sunset over the Adriatic.
Help! So many days together!!!
Livin' the dream. Apple juice for life.
We drove about 15 minutes to the bigger town of Stari Grad on our last day in Hvar.
We could see all kinds of fish in the sea so we bought a fishing net to try and catch some! No such luck, but we did meet a very nice fisherman one night who caught crabs to use as his bait and gave one to Finn.
The port at Stari Grad.
Me and my bud on the ferry.
Girlfriend is very happy with her purchases from the grocery store. Greek yogurt, strawberry bars and raisins. Next up...Italy!
