After a weekend in Bratislava, we've completed most of the travel options around Banja Luka. It's a nice city, quiet not lots for tourists, but just enough for a few days of fun. We started our trip by over-nighting at a thermal spa in Slovenia. These are super popular here and surprisingly kid friendly. We spent a few hours in the evening and in the morning swimming in the indoor pools, which the boys loved.
We spent our first day wondering around and checking out some great restaurants. There was a Lego exhibit at a community center that we went to first and the boys had so much fun. They had set up personal collections of people's Legos--from Harry Pooter to Taj Mahal. Foster was most impressed with the police figures and made me take pictures of all of the police vehicles so he could use them for ideas to build when he got home.
We visited the castle in Bratislava and walked all the way to the top. We found a wonderful kids museum which brought paintings to real life. For example, they had the mirror and ballet bar so kids could experience the Degas paintings. The boys loved the Monet scene of a boat, we spent hours there. And we finished our last evening at a restaurant where the boys could make their own pizza shapes.
And during this trip we learned about being resourceful and resilient, or more commonly known as parenting fails, when we forgot pants for Foster and a stroller for Kai. But, as you learn when you travel, you just roll with it. We washed Foster's pants every night and he didn't care and our Airbnb host let us borrow a stroller, literally saving our trip.
