Don and the kids have 2 weeks off from school for Spring Break, so we decided to take a trip to Greece for a little sun and relaxation. We found an awesome resort on Thessaloniki:
Ikos Oceania and loved it!! Here are some pics from our very laid back week in Greece.

 |
| We loved this view... |
 |
| Beach bar |
 |
| The beach... it was a little chilly to swim, but warm enough to sit out |
 |
| If you look closely, you can see Mount Olympus in the background |
 |
| After some exploring,we were off to dinner. |
 |
| And some drinks at the lobby bar... |
 |
| ...which for some reason looked like a scene for the 70's in these pictures... |
 |
| Chocolate milks!! |
 |
| It's fun to be a twin!! |
 |
| Day 2 - someone is ready to swim!! |
 |
| There was a nice heated indoor pool that the kids loved |
 |
| Well.. someone took a little coaxing at first... |
 |
| Not this one, she was in right away :) |
 |
| After swimming, it was time to hit the beach |
 |
| Beach bar! |
 |
| And then it was time for the kid's club (which was basically the last time we saw our kids because all they wanted was to go to the kid's club) |
 |
| It was a little chilly the first day at the pool, but we toughed it out... |
 |
| And then of course there was Spalding... In case you're wondering, yes, he did wear this outfit all week. |
 |
| How many pictures do I have of Don doing this??? |
