After being home for two straight weeks we decided it was time for another vacation! We spent 4 nights in Poreč, Croatia.
After a 6+ hour drive, it was nice to take a swim at the beach. Croatia is on the Adriatic Sea.
After dinner we took a walk on the beach. The sunset was was AMAZINGLY beautiful.
While the sea water was refreshing, the beaches in Croatia are very rocky. It was very difficult to stand up and so we decided that the resort's pool was the better option for swimming for the rest of our stay.
The resort had a kid's club that we could check the kids into while we relaxed. The club held all sorts of games and activities for the kids, like races in the pool.
While there we celebrated Anna's Birthday. No Birthday Cake but no worries because the beer and wine were all included!
Venice is just a little over 2 hours across the Adriatic from Poreč so we took the ferry over one day. Although we could have wished for a little more time here, we still had a really nice day.A gondola ride was a must, of course.
On Saturday we ventured an hour south to Pula. The main attraction in Pula is the Pula Arena. Very similar to the Colosseum in Rome, albeit a little bit smaller. They still hold concerts here and were actually getting ready for one when we visited. (According to a poster in a store we saw we apparently just missed our opportunity to see Michael Bolton in concert...may be next time - not!)
We were very lucky and had a really easy drive home. We went through Slovenia - which was VERY picturesque and we look forward to heading there for a visit next year.

Croatia looks like a nice place. That picture of the sunset is beautiful. Did I see Anna in a bikini?
