Slovenia Day 2: Ljubljana

    Our final day in Slovenia was spent in it's beautiful capital city, Ljubljana. I was nervous because the forecast called for rain, but we were lucky to only have cloudy skies that eventually turned into sunshine {meaning I was hot because I dressed for cooler weather and rain}. We enjoyed taking a few hours to walk around the city before our drive back to Italy.

 Wandering around Old Square and Upper Square was my favorite.

     Before we started our road trip back home, we had lunch at a really wonderful Mediterranean restaurant in Old Square. The waitresses were so sweet, and the food was really yummy. We ate way more then we needed to, but it was so worth it. Aaron and Connor even squeezed in room for dessert from a gelato stand.

Connor and daddy acting silly like always.

 I will never get sick of taking pictures of him licking gelato/ ice cream from a cone.

     Our drive home took over an hour longer then it should have. Traffic was awful, but thankfully Connor took a long nap and had his bath bomb to look forward to when we got home.

I snapped a couple pics of him with it. He was so excited and loved it so much! 

  Well, that's it from our Labor Day road trip to Croatia and Slovenia {finally two weeks later, haha}. I hope you enjoyed reading about it.

Slovenia: Glamping in Ribno, Bled

    Over Labor Day weekend we visited Croatia and Slovenia. I've already posted all about our adventures in Croatia and our first day in Slovenia, but I haven't posted about our favorite part of the trip: glamping. When I was looking at hotels, there were so many to choose from, but one stood out above the rest: Glamping Ribno. Just as the name suggests, it involved glamping, something I have wanted to do for a while now. For those of you that might not know what glamping is, it's basically fancy camping. Definitely up my alley, not so much Aaron's. Haha. He was a great sport and we both actually loved it. So much that we both wished we would have spent an extra night or two, but with only a 4 day weekend it wasn't possible to add on an extra night.

Croatia Day 3: Adriatic Sea & Slovenia Day 1: Lake Bled

     After spending two nights in Croatia, we though it would be a good idea to visit Lake Bled in Slovenia during the same trip since we drive through Slovenia anyways. Plus, with us moving in April/May we are running out of time and four day weekends. 

    We were up, ready, and out of the hotel by 7:30. Just like we planned and not a minute late this time. ;) Then we grabbed a quick breakfast before driving some of the coast of Croatia and up to Slovenia. Since we didn't get to see any of the Adriatic Sea like we had originally planned, we decided this detour that added a couple of hours to our travel time was a good one. Let me tell you, it was well worth it! We saw such cute houses on the way, almost got sick once or twice because of all the switchbacks, and got to see beautiful turquoise water. Connor and Aaron even swam for about 45 minutes at one of our stops because Connor kept asking us "pretty please?" We have the hardest time telling him no when he says that in the sweetest voice with little puppy dogs eyes.
