It's a travel day today, between đđˇ and đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż so instead of recounting the challenging lay over in Luton or the way that airport security tried to frisk our baby for contraband, let's focus on something more positive.
Rolling through the old city is a poorly branded, bright blue train attached to some kind of van. It's the ultimate tourist gimmic.
We've always loved picnics, but the European way of eating outside the restaurant, not just on a patio but spawling into the street, is delightful.
Jo loves history. Explaining to a toddler how to appreciate a series of ancient sarcophagi is not easy.
At the top of Marjan is an adorable zoo. To get there, you need to a scale a few dozen sets of limestone stairs.
Today was the first day of Ireland's Rugby World Cup campaign, so we got the whole family dressed up in green. Nora has a new tiny kit, and it's adorable.
We're working out a bunch on this trip. This morning Jo left at 7:30AM to head to a crosstraining class, and we expected the girls to wake shortly after.
We joined a historical walking tour of Split and given the unpredictable terrain of the city we had both girls in the carriers.
The beach highlights how different our girls are. Nora prefers to stay on the shore, stacking cups, or tossing a ball around.
Today was the kind of day that you hide from parents worried about travelling with kids. Nora was two today, and it showed.
