2017 Summer Family Holiday in Side, Turkey

I have a tendency to put off posting our Side vacation photos.  I think it mostly has to do with being overwhelmed by the photos and having to select only a few to try to represent the amazing family time.  Last year was no exception.  So here it is, February of 2018, and I am finally getting around to posting our Side photos from 2017.  (I still haven't posted from 2015 either!)  For the last four months or so, due to political tensions and visa issues, we actually thought we wouldn't be able to return to Turkey for our next summer family holiday, but this week we made the decision to go forward with it, and we booked our hotel and flights!!!  The simple truth is that nothing compares to our Side Breeze Hotel and the family memories we've made there over the last five years!

I must admit that it is somewhat unbelievable how much easier flying is with the kids at this age.  Every few month makes a huge difference.
