Beau’s 9th birthday this year fell on a long, four day weekend. We decided what better way to celebrate than with our Polish friends at their home near Krakow, Poland! We set off for a road trip packed with all eight of us in the van and, with very little planning and the goal of “just have fun!” we made our way to the outskirts of Krakow. For the next 3 days we enjoyed each other’s company, ate GREAT food, had lovely mini-tours around the main square of Krakow thanks to our friend Inga, and found some fun indoor activities for the kids to do in the wintry weather! This trip only scratched the surface of the delights Krakow has to offer and we will definitely be back to explore more soon!
Walking the park… 
The streets of Krakow. Hunting for pierogies!
A great place to try a variety of pierogies… 
Mmmm pierogies!

More deliciousness…

So much glowy fun! 
A great reactive floor in the mall… 
The kids loved it!
Go Jump was a MUST! 
We had the place to ourselves! 
What a blast! 
Happy birthday Beau!
Another great restaurant… 
…and more delicious Polish food!
A mini “Hollywood” walk of fame.. 
Hey! I know that guy!
Beau, daddy and Jan went go-karting as the girls went to a candy shop!
“Smallest candy factory in the world” 
Delicious artistic candies 
We got to watch as they were made! 
And they even got to take home a fresh lollipop!
It was a perfect day 
for a lovely walk in the woods… 
Climbing trees… 
And enjoying the fresh air! 
BIRTHDAY CAKE!
Thanks for the lovely hospitality, Inga, Jan and Joanna! We loved visiting your homeland and staying in your beautiful home, eating the great food, playing, exploring, making fires every day and learning a little bit about Poland! Until next time!
