At the end of May, we took a four day trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia. It was the perfect destination for May, not crowded and warm weather. European destinations can get extremely busy in July and August when whole countries shut down for holiday, so if planning a trip, avoid July and August!!
We stayed at a resort about 20 miles outside of Dubrovnik. It was a great resort offering exactly what we were looking for, a relaxing long weekend. The kids enjoyed the pools, kids club and eating at the buffet (who knew buffets were so exciting??!).
One day, we rented a boat with a skipper and he took us to different islands on the Adriatic Sea. It was a great day spent at sea! We were able to explore different islands and enjoy the spectacular scenery.
Lovin' beach life!
We also visited the old city of Dubrovnik, which was a highlight of our trip. The most impressive part of the old city are the city walls. The first fortifications were built in the 8th century, with more of the construction taking place during the 15th and 16th century. It was an intense walk, with many steps up, the wall is 22 meters high, but the view was worth it.
Beautiful city wall walk-
Reaching for the clouds!

We had a wonderful time exploring Croatia and the Adriatic Sea. It's a country that was going through a difficult war during the 1990's, but has definitely rebuilt itself as a must-see place to visit.
