Croatia - Day 13

Happy 4th!

Today started with a kitty party on our balcony - 2 kittens and their mom ;)


After a run, swim and nap, got the kids up to go boating.. with our newly anointed and appointed captain! He's not only cute, but is a good driver too ❤️


Soooo nice having a bigger and faster boat - especially today as the day wore on and we experienced busier and rougher seas.

It was a gorgeous day filled with swimming, snorkeling,.and the best pizza we've ever eaten - full stop.












My sweet girls ❤️







And finally, backflip from the skipper :)


Gigi and I opted out of the performance.




And if the beautiful Blue Lagoon wasn't amazing enough, there is a guy who runs a floating bar where he pulls up next to your boat and makes you drinks! Heavenly!





After swimming and cocktails, ventured.to another island for a pizza restaurant we heard about. It did not disappoint! Gorgeous setting and pizza was delicious! 


Lily's pizza ranks as one of best ever with pistachio, mortadella, and burrata. 




After lunch we headed to Trogir to fill the boat up with gas. It was insanely busy with crazy rough seas, but was a fun experience nonetheless.





Post drenching from a rogue wave.

Coming into our bay of Vinisce.


Our house is the one with the two matching square balconies.

The girls checking on the their tanning status...

Washing off the salty sea felt so amazing! 

Croatia - Day 12

 We skipped breakfast today and went right to lunch. We witnessed the restaurant workers buying fish from the boats out front so we're on a mission :) 

Our go-to restaurant.










We are addicted to these wafers, but had no idea they sold such big blocks of them! Looks like a loaf of bread.

During lunch we had an opportunity to get a bee. And then he flew away.


We realized you can complete your boating license certification online, which would enable us to rent a faster boat tomorrow. Sweet Corey went all-in and worked diligently on the course...while the rest of us napped during our second major power outage this week due to the high temps.
The power came back on around 8pm just before we headed out to eat h the sunset on the other side of the bay.



Dinner afterwards where we continuously kept hitting refresh to find out Lily's dorm assignment. To no avail as the system was apparently overloaded. We toasted her anyway, and found out shortly after dinner that she is in Walsh! The "wild women of Walsh". So excited for her! One of the oldest dorms on campus, a lot of character and a great location on God-Quad. And as we all know, air-con makes you soft.
