It might only be two small weeks in the year, one week even, but holidays I am sure we all agree are so important. They are one of the things we tend to most look forward to and can teach you so many things, about culture, about each other, about life.
After our first week in Portugal I would say we had well and truly settled in. We were no longer trying to navigate where things were or what to do but actually got into a bit of a groove and knew what it was we still wanted to explore. I love this about two week holidays, there really is something about getting into your own little routine and looking forward to the day ahead.
When we came to booking our family holiday this year there was only one stipulation… relaxation. Or at least as much relaxation as you can get from a family holiday with young children!
