A few weeks ago we decided we wanted to take a nice trip somewhere sunny and warm to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We did a bit of research and thought the Canary Islands sounded fun and it's a pretty popular destination for European holidays. The Islands are part of Spain, but they are located off of the coast of Morocco. We booked a trip through a travel agent and off we went on April 10! The hotel we picked was the Villa del Conde in Costa Meloneras, Cran Canaria which is at the southern tip of the island. The Canary Islands aren't overly conducive to beach swimming because the water is super cold! I stepped in the sea and marvelled at all of the little kiddos running around braving the frigid temperatures. The hotel we were in had wonderful swimming pools, though. One of them even had a sandy beach! The walk along the sea shore was so lovely, and ocean was such a deep blue and endless!
Daddy's sunglasses were a huge hit during the trip.
There is an area on the island with large sand dunes near to where we stayed. It was like a mini-desert! Gran Canaria has mountains, rainforests and a desert... with Abbey it was easier to just stay closer to the hotel so we just saw the dunes.
She finally warmed up to playing in the sand...
We had breakfast included with our stay. It was super tasty and they had champagne every morning. I love champagne.
She looks so proud of getting strawberry all over the nice white linens. I think she stained more than one tablecloth during our stay.
This was our "last" breakfast... we headed up to check out and found out we weren't going to be going home that day!
