Side Vacation 2015

It seems to be a trend that it takes me a year to get around to posting our vacation photos.  That said, here are the photos from our Summer 2015 vacation to Side, Turkey.  I'm not even going to back-post the date this time.  *sigh*

We stayed at the same resort as the prior two summers, and it was just as fun as ever.  Look at all the smiles!

Beach time!

Watching Turkish and German cartoons while Dad and Mom got cleaned up for dinner.  (They're holding keychains one of the hotel staff members gave them as gifts.)

One more night dancing with the Kids' Animation Team!  (Notice how Eva is holding on to her comfort blanket!)

And lastly, here is Eva konked out on the flight back home to Vienna.  (Thankfully, the Turkish flight attendants didn't take issue with her sleeping on the floor!)

We have really missed you this year, Side!  We sure hope we can find a way to go next summer!

I hope this isn't out of place to respond here, but I met you briefly in 2009, I think, (or maybe 2007?) in Istanbul when you and your husband were there with a group from Boston. Occasionally, since then, I read your blog and there's something so warm and intentional about it that draws me in! I hope that's encouraging and not weird! Anyway, I will probably always be drawn to posts about Turkey! I'm glad you got to spend some time there!
