Memorial Day Weekend

I've decided to divide this is into two posts, as I have a lot to say! Our weekend started out okay, was amazing, and then ended not so great. First I'd like to tell you how much we adored Ljubljana, Slovenia! We originally booked tickets via German Wings Blind Booking...ie.. you don't know which city you will get out of the choices until after you paid. We were none to thrilled to get Venice, but we decided to make the most out of it. James had the idea to rent a car and drive to Ljubljana and I'm so glad he did. What a lovely city and extremely welcoming and friendly people. We got to our hotel, the Hotel Lev, only to find out they oversold the hotel and had moved us to a different hotel. While I thought this was a terrible thing, it turned out to be a great thing! The Grand Hotel Union was just as nice, if not nicer, and it was in a primo location, a stone's throw from the center. We strolled along the beautiful city, had an amazing dinner, of course drinks, and settled in for a night relaxing in the hotel. The following day was spent wandering the gorgeous city, eating amazing food, stumbling across local street markets and taking a relaxing boat cruise.
A city that I had never even heard of turned out to be one of the greatest cities I've ever been to. The Slovenians were so kind and welcoming, the food was amazing and the city was picturesque. If your in the area I would totally suggest stopping by!
