Poolside
It’s been coolish during most of our stay in Cyprus, so we haven’t spent too much time by the pool. (Plus, when I have the choice, I’d generally rather be at the beach.)

Road Trip from Pissouri to Kyrenia (and back)

Toddlers and Trains

Stockholm is full of parks and playgrounds. One of my favorites thus far is Bryggartäppan, which is designed to look like Södermalm in the late 1800s.
