Since we didn't visit Sirmione and the thermal lake on Sunday due to the rain, we went on Monday when the weather was much nicer. We had such a nice time exploring the city and Lake Garda.
As soon as we stepped out of the car, Connor was so excited to see the water and ducks. I think he could have spent the entire two hours we were there just watching them.
Can you see the two baby ducks tucked in nicely in their mamas feathers?
After prying Connor away from the ducks, we went over the bridge and into the cute little city. We explored until we reached the lake.
Scaliger Castle
The lemons were huge!
The town is in on a peninsula and is pretty small, so we got to the water in no time. Connor immediately went to it and started collecting seashells. He was amazed by how many there were on the pebble beach.
My sweeties looking all cute.
Looking for seashells with his daddy.
Sorting through them.
Collecting more. {I just remembered that they are all loose in his stroller still. That's going to be fun to clean up...}
LOVE!
We can't wait to go back to Lake Garda again.
After spending a little time at the lake, we had a snack before driving to the thermal lake. Connor wanted ice cream and Aaron wanted a sandwich, so we got both and they were fantastic. I never thought I would like such a simple sandwich so much, be it was delish! Connor even took it over and claimed it was "fresh."The ice cream was actually yogurt and tasted really good, especially the chunks of strawberries that were in it.
He didn't eat but a few licks of the ice cream. He surprisingly preferred the sandwich.
He wasn't scared to feed the ducks.
Our next stop was a 30 minute drive to Parco Termale de Garda to swim in one of their thermal lakes. There are actually two lakes there {one was closed when we went} that
are filled with pure thermal water that is about 91-93 Fahrenheit. The
bigger lake of the two has two small hot tub built into it that has even
warmer water that ranges from 98-102 Fahrenheit and a large section with shallow water designed for kids. I hate swimming in cold water, so this place was wonderful to me. Aaron on the other hand thought it was a little too warm.
We had to walk through this beautiful green park to get to the lake.
This is the lake we swam in. The cave was a good size and filled with various hydro massage devices.
The Wintergarten Pavilion had a restauraunt, cafeteria, and resrtooms with showers and changing area.
You can see how shallow the kids section was by where the water was on Connor.
Time for a snack.
They liked playing under the waterfall.
XOXO,
Jenn
