Earlier this spring, our family escaped the end-of-winter doldrums and went on a mini-vacation to Menorca.  It was a wonderful, relaxing trip and a great place to travel to with a wiggly toddler.  We hiked, swam (just a little, the water was still quite chilly in March!), ate wonderful meals, and stayed at a 'Hotel Rural', an old farmhouse in the middle of the countryside.  Here are a few snapshots of our time there. 

Mediterranean doorways... like no other place on earth.

Seriously in love with these colors.

This was the backdoor/balcony of our hotel room.  I'm still dreaming of it!
