Can I see my new stamp?!

We returned yesterday from our 10 year anniversary trip to the Algarve, Portugal. It was simply amazing, so incredibly beautiful and such a great family vacation. We stayed in a beautiful resort with 6 different pools, in a gorgeous 2 bedroom townhome. We did exactly what we wanted, which included primarily swimming in the pools, followed by a trip to a beach surrounded by limestone cliffs for some swimming in the ocean, followed by a nightcap swim in the pools again. We've all agreed we'd love to go back again.

This was our first trip onto the continent and we are already planning our next! (OK, I am already planning our next!) One of my favorite things was seeing how excited the boys were to get their stamps in their passports. Owen eagerly asked "Can I see my new stamp?" immediately after we passed through customs both times. There is a boy after my heart, for sure!

Ready for your breathe to be taken away???
