Vacation Photos + How Did You Spend Your Summer?

I'd love to share with you a few of my vacation photos, if you'd like to see.
I've had a wonderful summer vacation...no TV, no computer, no plans, of course I equipped myself with several books and my camera as always.
A vacation getaway is always great fun!

It was almost noon when we finally arrived at my good friend Anne's beach house on the beautiful island of Mykonos, Greece,

and we decided to jump in the pool and chill out.

The view from the house was really gorgeous. I got some time to relax in the shadow with my book and a yummy, fresh orange juice, which I enjoyed quite a lot.

The weather was fairly nice; it was not too hot during the daytime and could actually get a little chilly at night.

There are golden sandy beaches on Mykonos island. Here are a few beautiful beaches with turquoise crystal waters and soul-warming sun where we went swimming:  Paraga Beach, Psarou Beach, Elia Beach, Platys Gialos, and Ag. Sostis Beach.
We also visited Katrine's, a cozy little  restaurant with its sophisticated setting and cuisine which we enjoyed quite a lot. Needless to say the food was absolutely delicious and glowed with the strong, warm flavours of Mediterranean!  

Overall, we really enjoyed the beautiful sandy beach and the tranquil blues and greens of the crystal clear water; we all have had such a wonderful time. It was actually a ton of fun.

The bottom line is this: I finally managed to get some time to rest and relax with family and friends. The best part is, the joy I felt in the tiny bits and pieces of life because I truly took time to stop and smell the roses.
So that's pretty much how we spent  our summer vacation.

Thanks, Ann, for making this a very pleasant vacation for all of us.

How was your summer? How did you spend it? Did you go on vacation? I'd love to hear. xx
