The Kellys in Corfu (Greece)

Hi all, just back from a week on the island of Corfu, one of the sunny Greek islands in the Ionian Sea. We wanted a relaxing, "get away from it all" vacation, and we definitely found it there! The weather was warm and dry (got hot the last two days), we swam in the pools every day, paddled around in the sea, and chased crabs and fishys in the shallow tides. We didn't do much sightseeing, as it was too easy to be lazy, though we did take drives through the hills, and up to the North coast, where you can see across to Albania. We ate lots of ice cream (especially our Colin) and we loved the Greek food, especially freshly caught fish like sardines--yummy! The people that we met were extraordinarily friendly and made the trip very special. I would love to think that we'd go back someday...

Gorgeous view from the Corfu hills towards the Ionian Sea and the Greek mainland in the hazy distance. 

A native Corfiot woman and her donkey (aw, bless her heart).  

Olive trees everywhere!! 

Colin says "Yasoo" (Hello in Greek)--playing on the beach in Benitses, Corfu. 

Sand, sun, and seashells = Colin in Heaven! 

The lovely garden and view of the sea... Having breakfast in Petriti (smile guys!). 

Loving the Greek Food... 

Loving this lifestyle (and the iced lollys)!!! 

We couldn't resist this water toy for Colin (how cute is this?)! 

Nice shallow beach, which was so perfect for our little man to play away (you can very faintly see Greece in the background).

We can't get Colin out of the pool!!!
