We took a day trip to Colonia del Sacramento! It's only about an hour ferry ride from Buenos Aires and we went on President's Day, since the stock market was closed and Steph could take the day off. The ferry was a little challenging with the kids but we made it there and back in one piece. Our concierge booked our ticket for us which was really great since the website is super confusing. Luckily, there is always priority boarding for families with small children so we zipped through the check in and were able to find a seat near the window. The kids ran around the boat several hundred times, with each of us taking turns keeping an eye on them. We had coffee, orange juice and some seriously tasty dulce de leche alfajores from Havana. (If you click on this link, you will see the most delicious snack!)

Here is Graham pleading with Juli for a lollipop.

When we arrived, we went straight to the visitors center to get some information and a map. It was perfect because the lady told us exactly where to go and how to rent a golf cart.

We rented a golf cart and drove straight to the historic neighborhood which is a Unesco World Heritage site. It has narrow cobblestone streets lined with sycamore trees and beautiful gorgeous open air cafes. Here are a few pics from our quick visit. I hope I can go back to get some more images, there just wasn't enough time!

Lulu says hi to nearly every dog in the neighborhood, it's so sweet!

Juli came with us and I am so glad she did! It was a huge help to have her with us!

We had lunch at this awesome little boutique hotel called Charco Hotel. It wasn't in our guide book but we chose it because it had couches overlooking the water and since Graham had fallen asleep, it was a perfect place to plop him down for a nap. Check out this amazing Provoleta, it's basically grilled provolone cheese and it is a staple here in Argentina, it's so delicious!

The last thing on our agenda was to put our toes in the sand so we went to the beach before boarding the ferry. We drove our golf cart to a little campsite and let the kids go swimming.

Cheers to a fantastic trip!!!
