Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Corfu, Greece

       I was so excited about today because it was going to be a beach day! Yay. We had only had one so far on the cruise, so another one was calling my name. We went to the excursion office and ended up getting tickets for one that included a couple hours at the beach and a couple hours in the city. It was perfect because we could do it all.

     We got ready and had a big breakfast in the buffet dining room. Then we came back to our room and waited to meet with our excursion group {which wasn't until 12:45}.

 He was writing and saying all his friends names.

Beautiful Corfu.

Walking to the bus.

     Our first stop was Glyfada Beach. We picked out our beach chairs and put sunscreen on in barely enough time to keep Connor out of the water. He was so excited, he could hardly wait.

It was exactly what I wanted when I told Aaron I wanted a beach day.

So excited to get in the water!

It was a little cold.

He loved playing in the water at first.

Then he started to get scared.

He was all done after that.

Thankfully there was a pool at the restaurant our excursion was affiliated with. The water was a lot warmer and Connor liked it so much more.

Left: Jumping in. Right: Holding his break and going under water. That only happened once.

While I changed, Aaron let Connor play with a stray cat. {Gasp!}

Putting ketchup on everything. {A boy after my own heart.}

    After spending time at the beach/pool, our group went to the center of Corfu. We were able to shop, buy gelato, and explore the city.

My little cone thief.

Still so sad I didn't buy some sandals.

Beautiful bell tower.

Burning candles outside of the church.

This old Civic caught our eye.

Peeking over my shoulder.

View from our balcony of where we were. You can see the bell tower I took a picture of.

Tug boat.

When we got back to our room, Aaron and Connor started watching a movie on his iPad. Within 5 minutes Connor was out. I guess that's what happens when  you don't take a nap the entire day. 

   We decided to take advantage of our sleeping baby and end our day with dinner at the sushi restaurant on the boat. It was really nice to have an unexpected date night!

Connor slept the entire time we were at dinner and only woke up for a brief minute when we changed him and moved him into his bed.
