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.

Ready to fly! |
|
We made it!! Cuddling in the lobby. |
|
Riding the golf cart to our room. |
|
Us too! |

Eating apples as big as their heads. |
|
Getting the lay of the land - view of the upper pool |
|
Lower pool |
|
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??? |
|
Mount Olympus! |

Ready for dinner |
