Beach weekend in October

You know it was a great vacation when you are a little sad coming back and your three-year-old just cries, "No, I don't want to go home!" We went back to the chain of hotels called Inatel for the third or fourth time now, and it seems to get better each time. This one we go to is in the Algarve, and five minutes walking distance from the beach, 20 minutes walking distance downtown. There is an adult pool and a shallow kiddie pool, which both kiddos thoroughly enjoyed. The first thing Addie asked when she woke up was, "I can't see the pool. When are we going to the pool?" But the best of all (at least for me!) is most certainly the buffet. We have breakfast, lunch and dinner there and I wish there were more meals in the day to enjoy there. There is something for each one of us. Addie would also always ask, "Are there french fries today?", even during breakfast. Even though we are in October, luckily our sunny, Portuguese weather held out and it was hot, but with a nice breeze. Couldn't have asked for more. Except for Addie to have slept her naps at the appropriate time at the hotel. But I guess you can't win them all.
