Monday Escapes 22/05/17

Welcome Back to Monday Escapes on Monday 22nd May. We are in the middle of GCSE season so not much travelling going on in this household at the moment.

But that doesn’t stop me planning adventures for the summer once exams are over and we can all breathe again. And have some lovely little adventures planned for the family and even a girls trip away with the lovely Karen.

This week I am sharing the first part of our Ikos Olivia trip and how the boys just loved the freedom the resort offers. I have loved looking back over our pictures. It’s a bitter-sweet time with Jack getting to the age he may not want to travel with us as much and we created so many lovely memories on our trip.

If you want to see me create my projects, follow me on Tik Tok and Instagram.

What is Monday Escapes?

Monday Escapes is a place to link up your travel memories and is hosted by myself, Karen at Mini Travellers, Lisa at Travel Loving Family and Claire at Tin Box Traveller. Monday Escapes is all about looking back at wonderful, happy travel memories and sharing them with others. It doesn’t have to be about a trip abroad or even be a written post. If you want to share your favourite snapshots – whether it’s a famous sight, scene, dramatic view or even a favourite family photo, then please feel free to link those up, too. Likewise, posts don’t have to be about holidays or weekends away, they can also include day trips, walks, attractions – any travel experience that you want to share.
Claire and Lisa’s favourite posts from the last Monday Escapes are:

Tracey from Tracy’s Travel’s in Time spent 2016 visiting as many of the designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the UK as possible. She has put together a post featuring 26 of the UNESCO UK sites with short descriptions and inspiring photos which has really made me want to visit a few that have been on my travel wish list for a long time… the Giants Causeway and Stonehenge. (Stonehenge Lisa is ashamed to say is literally down the road from her and she still haven’t visited!)

Claire loved Lorelei’s picture-perfect tour of the stunningly beautiful half-timbered and quirky buildings of Idestein in Germany. This is why it’s on her bucket list of European destinations she must return to soon
