Okinawa Family Visit ~A Day Close to Home ~Jack Approved Snacks

Since we had spent the entire day before at the Lily Festival, 
it was good to spend a day at home.
In the morning we ran a couple of quick errands 
to the BX and the Commissary for a few necessities.
We ate lunch at home, and of course took a nap.

After a quick snack of turkey, cheese, 
and Mama’s homemade muffins, 
we went to obtain a Visitor Pass 
for this Nana to stay on base.

In the waiting area, 
a close view of a close game!

On the way home we stopped to 
run off some energy.

Do you notice the little mouse 
in Jack’s right hand?
That is actually a cat toy...
and that little mouse goes everywhere that Jack goes!

I don’t think Bella minds...she has plenty of other toys.



Do you also see the view over my left shoulder?
That is how close we are to the ocean!

Amy and Jack found a baseball in the park.
It was a great way to finish our afternoon.

Jack’s Mama and Nana combined efforts 
to create this Toddler Burrito Bowl.
Spanish Rice
Sweet Corn
Black Beans
Avocado
Chicken Breast
Spinach
Tomato
Greek Yogurt
Cheddar Cheese
Yum

I appreciated the time to finish unpacking and organizing my things.
Amy needed to take care of important messages, 
and we both tackled some house chores.

We are blessed!

Take care,
~Natalie

Dream Vacation ~The Full Story ~~Day Nine: Strolling the Waterfront and Lunch in Cavtat

While the population of Dubrovnik is just under 43,000,
the neighboring town of Cavtat is home to 2,000 people.
It is such a quaint little place to visit.

It is an easy stroll along the waterfront 
lined with specialty shops and restaurants.




We also explored the side street walkways.


HAPPYLAND...that's for sure!

Dubrovnik and Cavtat, both provided plenty 
of outdoor browsing of the local artists' handmade items.


I purchased a bracelet of Croatian Coral...
a sweet reminder of my trip.


Nick kept us on schedule...it was time to find a spot for lunch.

First we check out the menu and then check on Trip Advisor...


Click and visit their website...
That is a treat in itself!

My host and hostess, and the best tour guides.

Refreshing beverages...

and the local brew.

Amuse-bouche = one bite appetizers

Homemade Rolls

with two types of dipping oils...
Olive Oil and
Pumpkin Seed Oil

I could have made a meal on the bread and oil...
but we needed to order a lunch.
(I never did figure out how to read their prices)

My choice?
The Lobster Bisque

and the Spring Salad.


It was the absolute best ending to our weekend get-away...
...and my Dream Vacation.

Take care,
~Natalie

Dream Vacation ~The Full Story ~~Day Four: Mother/Daughter Lunch and Shopping

Henry's was perfect for lunch.
We shared an appetizer, Toasted Baguette with hummus,
a sandwich, Mozzarella, Cucumber, and Tomato,
and an avacado salad.

Did I mention that it was a chilly, rainy day?


People were wearing winter coats, scarves, sweaters and boots.
It was a good idea to take our London experience inside.

Let's go shopping!
(My tour guide checked the underground map)


After a short ride, we were back up on the street.


Piccadilly Circus is a busy intersection in the heart of London.



There is our shopping destination...
you can see the Harrods famous green awnings above the windows.

While it was chilly outside, 
the window displays are warm and inviting.

We loved the Harrods Designer Studio.
Such beautiful fashions, such beautiful displays.

Even the escaltors are surrounded by elaborate decor.

I purchased a few souvenirs in the Harrods Gift Shop.

This was a perfect way to end our perfect day in London.
Thank you, Amy.

Take care,
~Natalie

Northern Night 2026 ~Here’s my Report

A Weekend Highlight, by far. A formal affair…and as our granddaughter would say “Papa and Gigi got Fancy” This was the last time we went to ...
