When you have children, you very much appreciate that wooden sun decks and very little sand

| Sean loved the fresh baked bread |
 |
| Sean learnt to say Turkey and Turkiet - English as well as Swedish |
 |
| On one of the nights out which turned out to be the best one, we ended up in The Marina Yacht Club, a non touristy very classy place where the food was not only amazing but inexpensive too |
 |
| And a famous Turkish live band sang well known songs in English |
 |
| Sean was of course delighted to have "mormor" (grandma) with us, and it gave us some relaxing time whilst she looked after him |
 |
| Getting our bearings on a walk around the harbour area |
 |
| A chance to get dressed up every night |
 |
| Inspiring surroundings to say the least |
 |
| Considering how hot it gets, the grass and foliage was amazingly green and well manicured |
 |
| Catching up with my emails as Sean tucks into some ice cream |
 |
| Sleeping beauty in Daddy's arms |
 |
| We enjoyed a breakfast buffet every morning with a huge selection that had something to suit everyone, included choosy little toddlers |
 |
| I can't explain it in any other way, but I felt alive! |
 |
| In the hotel we were surrounded by stunning art and sculpture - some amazing pieces |
 |
| Lounging whilst listening to Bossa Nova music being played in the bar |
 |
| Chillaxin! |
 |
| A midday nap, covered up from the sun in the lovely breeze, was compulsory |
 |
| As it's not just ours but Sean's holiday too, the bed time routines went out the window with many late nights and falling asleep on Mummy's or Daddy's lap |
 |
| A little vitamin D from the sun is good for the soul! |
 |
| a Cuban live band entertained one evening at the hotel |
 |
| The ipad has come in very handy on holidays as our little fells has a pretty short attention span - seen here on his way to lunch and some 'ipad activity' |
 |
| Pinot Grigio Blush was cool and almost refreshing in the humid evening and became a favourite drink as my otherwise favourite drink, Champagne, was hard to find in many places (only Turkish bubbly, not the French) |
 |
| Father and son share a conversation over a cold beer/cold milk |
 |
| Lunch breaks in the shade was a must |
 |
| They really catered well for children at the hotel which was an added bonus |
 |
| Ice cream with the Bodrum Castle in the back ground |
 |
| My favourite beach wear from Roberto Cavalli |
 |
| "Oh pleeaase let me play with the ipad at the table Daddy....!" |
 |
| In the hustle and bustle of Bodrum centre which was a 10 minute drive from quite and peaceful Torba where we stayed |
 |
| Being on holiday in a fab hotel with great weather, food and quality time always does wonders for a relationship :-) |
 |
| Barbecue down by the water |
 |
| The breathtaking sea view from our bedroom window |
 |
| Swimming lessons for Sean have really improved his confidence in the water |
 |
| Breakfast down in the bay, so so beautiful |
 |
| The ground floor of the split level suite that we rented had a gorgeous spiral stair case |
 |
| A comfy king size bed is a must for my big and tall Bear |
 |
| The bathroom were topped up everyday with goodies from a favourite french brand, L'occitane |
 |
| A large pool (and a kiddies pool) if you don't fancy swimming in the salty water |
 |
| Sean loved his 4 new toy dogs - a well as an occasional apple juice |
 |
| I am already missing it and we are determined to go back next year |
