May Vacation

 We usually take a short vacation in May because my son has a few 4 day weekends from school. It is a bit off season, so not so much traffic, not so many people (I hate crowds), and off-season rates. Um, not always the best weather, but my son and I actually don't mind too much and DH is generally happy as long as we are happy.
 This year we went to Croatia. I know that sounds exotic, but if you lived in Massachusetts, that would be similar to going to Rhode Island...less than 5 hours by car...but with border passport checks. We drove through Slovania to get there...as 3 country trip! It was after this trip that I realized my passport has room for only a few more stamps...so I have to take care of that soon. 



Husband just shook his head when my son and I kept screaming for him to stop so we could take photos of the road signs, etc.  But seriously...how do you think you say the name of this town? My son and I were howling with laughter at so many things we saw along the way. We really love a good road trip!  I am getting creative with those photos scrap books you can order and these fun little photos make great fillers.



My son played tennis every day... and I was happy to lounge and watch him have fun! I have been sick, so I especially planned this trip around him playing tennis so he would get lots of exercise and I would get lots of rest. The hotel even had a buffet breakfast and supper plan so I didn't even have to really cook, but we did have a kitchenette for snacks.  It was the perfect family get away.
