Antalyahhh!

Well, we got back a week ago from a little vacation in Antalya (southwestern Turkey on the Mediterranean) and it was very beautiful, as relaxing as can be expected with two little boys in tow.  :o)  We spent most of our time at the pool, did a little sightseeing and exploring, but otherwise took it easy. Some pics and links to videos below!
Dedemon Hotel

View of the Med from our room

4 Pools and a full-sized water park...who could ask for more!
Every evening was spent in the pool
Elijah has no fear of the water with his Puddle Jumper on. The Turks were all impressed with how fearlessly he jumped into the big pool.

Zeke loved the pool too and would scoot himself right in without any fear.

We walked through sections of the very quaint Old Town

These Pansions are very popular boutique hotels in Old Town
The Old Harbor
We took a boat tour that took us too all of the falls in the area

The largest of the Duden Falls

Relaxing and enjoying the view
Hadrian's Gate...apparently he had a few of these around Turkey

Konyaalti Beach
 And if our pictures were not enough, we have a couple videos for you! Our favorite ones are of Elijah jumping in the pool (here) and the boys wrestling with Daddy (here).

What BEAUTIFUL pictures!! Antalya looks gorgeous....peaceful.....a restful place. I can see why it's surpassed NYC as the #3 tourist destination. Duden Falls is so pretty, falling right into the Mediterranean. You guys are really seeing many different places Turkey has to offer......even "with two boys in tow". Good for you!! Love you all!

That looks wonderful and the boys are too cute. Jette is a puddle jumper fan too. It is a fantastic invention!!!
