Our last place to visit before our cruise came to an end was Kotor, Montenegro. I did a little research on it before we left, but decided we would just explore on our own. There was no need to pay for another excursion and we had a wonderful time doing things at our own pace.
Shark and jellyfish spotting.
Beautiful Kotor.
We arrived early in the morning, by about 7, and Aaron got us our ticket for the tender boat. We had breakfast and started walking to the theater where our group was supposed to meet at 8. It was only 7:45 and we saw our group already leaving. We jumped in the line and picked out our seat on the boat.
This time they used our life boats as tender boats.
Our first place to see was old town Kotor. It is a UNESCO world heritage site for being one of the best preserved medieval towns in the Adriatic.
Old town is a walled city. You could see the wall zig-zagging up the mountain.
Before we went inside.
There was a farmers market right outside the entrance to old town.
Now that's a big chair!
It was such a pretty, little town.
There were so many narrow streets that we wandered around. We had no idea where we were going.
I loved everything about this green door at the end of a tunnel.
Stairs leading up to somebody's house.
Cathedral of St. Tryphon
What was really cool was that you could walk along the walls and see the city from above. We didn't do it because there were tons of stairs, but
Aaron did get a good look from one spot he climbed up.

St. Nicholas church.

Having a stare down with a random cat.
More stray cats. They were everywhere!

When we were done walking around old town, we walked down the street to the mall. A tour guide mentioned it to us, so we went to check it out. It was really small and we were done in about 20 minutes. That was my fastest trip to a mall in my life. ;)
The last 2 pictures looked important, but I have no idea what they represent.
Connor drove his first car {and got in his first wreck: he hit a tree} at the playground.
After letting him play for about an hour, we were ready to get back on the boat. We waited in line for a few minutes and then found our seat. Connor serenaded us the entire way back.
While Connor and Aaron took a nap, I went to the pool and got some sun. The boys met me once they woke up and we went swimming. Connor played with his older friend, Mackenzie, a lot that day.
Swimming makes you hungry!
When we got back to the room, we relaxed on the balcony and then got dressed for dinner. It was our last night and we thought about going to the dining room, but we skipped and went to the buffet. It was just so much easier for us to eat in that less formal environment with Connor. Afterwards we listened to music and went to see the nightly performance in the theater.
Waiting for the music to start.
Connor's very own personal concert.
Waiting for the show to start.
The performers were really good!

We had a really fun night. We were tired and knew we had to wake up extra early to be out of our room by 8am, so we packed and went to bed once we got back to the room.
