Just back from a lovely last minute half term break at the Grecotel Luxme Kos . We only booked the day before so we could follow the sun and it was perfect October weather 🌞 🇬🇷
And what a gorgeous family holiday it was. Im not normally one for lying down on a sun lounger but after a crazy busy year a holiday of rest and relaxing was just what the doctor ordered 😍
This All Inclusive hotel is just perfect . Stunning beach front location, lots of gorgeous pools all with service to the sun bed (and the highlight of Noahs day at lunch when they come around the pool with a tray of Gyros😍)

The food is incredible . A main buffet restaurant which was so good and then 4 al a cartes which were all stunning. I loved the Greek Tavernaki restaurant set right on the beach and a perfect chilled evening setting . And a fabulous food court for lunch and a creperie and ice cream bar (again which was a dream for Noah😋) The food is so fresh with the most amazing greek organic produce and the olive oils, honey etc from their own farm . And a choice of 150 w**es was a massive bonus too 🍷 The evening entertainment was great too with quality musicians and plenty for all the family if you wanted a low key night in one of the cosy bars relaxing with a drink and playing cards or something a little more lively. 🥰

The hotel is about 5 k from Kos town and we had a lovely day exploring there on scooters which you can take from.outside the hotel. It was so hard to leave the hotel but its great to have it on your doorstep and the old town was beautiful .

I have wanted to experience a Grecotel hotel for so long as love they are exclusively Greek and have a big emphasis on celebrating traditions of their amazing country with a modern and luxurious twist 🇬🇷After visiting I would recommend to all 😍 We have come back feeling revitalised and already cant wait to return one day x 😍

What an amazing 3 days we have had in Beautiful Lisbon 🇵🇹😍 Love this colourful city so much and it was such a great experience staying in the old town of Alfama , a maze of cobbled streets and full of tiny Fado restaurants and bars that come alive at night. Spending an evening in Madonnas favourite little music bar Tejo was out of this world and a big highlight for us all 🎶 As well as zipping round the citys steep windy roads by tuc tuc and eating lots of Pastel De Natas 😋 We loved visting the magical town of Sintra in the hills and the beach town of Cascais. Such a great city to explore and can see and do so much in a couple of days. The sunshine make it perfect and we have laughed so much and made some brilliant family memories together.The perfect little city break 😍

Our last stop in Denver 🇺🇸 After Wyoming we drove back into Colorado for our last 2 nights to The Mile High City . We really loved this city.It has such a chilled atmosphere and we were looked after so well at The Rally Hotel which is one of the loveliest hotels ive ever been too. Set right by Coors Field baseball stadium and situated in a kind of mini village of great bars, restaurants and huge screen in the middle for sports fans. Colorado is the home of Coors brewery and a big plus for b**r fans is there is a wall of 35 types of pour your own b**rs here🍻 🥰

Highlights for us were of course a night at the baseball which has the best sunset views over the rockie mountains 🌅 ⚾️ The boys first game which they loved and the Colorado Rockies got a win so was a brilliant atmosphere . But for me finally getting to see the Red Rocks ampitheatre was the massive highlight . The most special music venue I have ever seen it gave me chills. Its a really breathtaking place and hosted so many incredible music artists and I have vowed to go back to see a gig there one day .

The perfect end to an incredible road trip through 4 states in 8 days .

Coming back after the loss of our boy Baxter has been beyond tough but this trip was so special and gave us such well needed family time .An unforgettable USA journey 🇺🇸❤️

From Colorado we headed into the Wild West of Wyoming. It was just as expected and we loved it 👢🥰. Full of shops of cowboy boots , ranches, big open skies and views for miles. ❤️
We loved time on Terrys Ranch in Cheyenne feeding the bison and hanging out with the cowboys and animals.
We got the shock of our life though when we walked into one of the barns and there was a wild bear cub chilling in there🥰 We didnt hang around too long as sure mama bear was close by .
Its a huge state and we barely scratched the surfaced but would absolutely love to go back and explore it more. And wouldnt be a trip to USA without visiting the giant gas station Buccees for one of their famous fresh brisket sandwiches while on the road 😋 Final stop . A mini break in The Mile High City of Denver before heading home ❤️

Steamboat Springs ,Colorado🇺🇲🥰 We left the desert of Moab,Utah and drove over the border into Colorado heading for the little cowboy town in the mountains . The drive was amazing seeing the landscape totally change and the random pit stops along the way. 😆 As we arrived into Steamboat the rain came in which all the locals were celebrating after a long summer drought🥰 We braved the torrential Manchester like rain and headed to the local rodeo which was brilliant and a great atmosphere.🐎🤠👢 The next day luckily brightened up a little so we headed to the hot springs and up the gondola to the happy hour at the top of the mountain with cheap b**r and great live music. 🥳
We had been warned by our motel that bears were very active in the town (albeit quite chilled they said 😆 ) on the hunt for food so a little nervous walk home only to find there was one who had got in the back of our neighbours truck . Luckily we made it back to our room just in time 🥰🐻 A brilliant little town and we had such a lovely time here. Next stop Wyoming 🇺🇸

Next stop. Utah 🇺🇲🥰

We left the madness of Vegas and flew to Salt Lake City where we picked up our car and drove through some of the most spectacular scenery we have ever seen. The perfect roads for a USA road trip 😍
We arrived into the little town of Moab in the desert in the baking heat ❤️ The cutest place full of really great restaurants , western shops and little pubs surrounded by mountains . There is so much adventuring here and so many brilliant hikes. We took an early morning trek through Arches National Park which was breathtaking even though it was challenging at times to my fear of heights. 😳🥰 We loved it and our hotel the Hoodoo was perfect with a lovely pool and stunning views .

It's been so good for the soul here. A magical place we would love to return one day.❤️❤️❤️ Next stop the cowboy town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado 🤠🥰😍

After lots of planning our end of summer USA road trip has officially begun 😍.🇺🇲🥰

After the loss of our beautiful boy Baxter on Monday it was a very strange and sad feeling getting on the plane on Tuesday. But we decided that this adventure would do us all the world of good and Baxter would have wanted us to be happy and live life to the full just like he did 🐶🥰

First stop Las Vegas And what a time we had . From the minute we landed we didnt stop .We were so spoilt at the brilliant Caesars Palace and the giant pools were a welcome relief from the 43 degree desert heat. They even had a swim up black jack pool 🥰 We explored the Strip from top to bottom , ate too much great food, won a bit in the casino then lost it all again 😆 Got dragged on a crazy rollercoaster by Noah, took an evening helicopter flight over the strip which was incredible and finished with a brilliant night down in Old Vegas at Freemont street 🥰

In whats been such a sad time for our family the distraction of crazy Vegas was actually just what we needed . To be together , to laugh , cry and to have a bloody great adventure.

Next stop Utah 🇺🇲. We arrived in from Salt Lake City yesterday ,picked up our car and hit the long road to Moab. We have been absolutely blown away so far. This place is something special❤️❤️❤️

Gorgeous service, great room and the comfiest bed (with a nice big tv for world cup france v spain) Such a great addition to manchester airport. Top marks from us 😍

One of the best family mini breaks ever in San Sebastian and definately one of my new favourite cities 😍 This Basque country city has everything. A total food paradise with all the amazing Pintxos Bars in the old town and some of the most stunning surf beaches I have ever seen ❤️ We have tried so many weird and wonderful foods (including sea urchin cream straight from the shell😬) and drank really lovely w**e which was sooo cheap 😍 And the views from the top of Mont Igeueldo overlooking La Co**ha Bay were out of this world . We have laughed so much and made the best memories together . An unforgettable trip and would reccomend to everyone 🥰🇪🇸
