***Mini Challenge #715 - The genuine holiday experience ***

Hi everybody, I’d like to announce new challenge.

Glad that rjgr liked and choose this my picture (for a reason :-))

I like this picture as it is, but on my stay in Spa, there was much more happiness and the picture doesn’t tell it.

Despite of this cheesy lighting, gloss etc, the value of the Spa is in the amazing pools, hot pools, based on the healing thermal springs and in/outdoor sauna experience, placed inside this beatiful and perfectly restored scenery. ( Yes, the Pilsner next to the pool was very welcome, too :-))

Long story short, as opposite to this my feelings, would you pls post some pics, which captured your genuine holiday experience? Few words of a comment appreciated … or let me guess.

Forgive me please not to Cut&Paste those well known challenge rules here.

I am looking forward on your holiday picture stories.

Sincerely, guinnes2

My apologies for lack of participation, but between allergies / sinus and prep for being out of town next week I don't have time right now. Hope to participate again before too long.

What the heck.

Ahh , right. Holidays. mean  also Christmas in English  etc.

I should rather say vacancies, but never mind  ,  nice extension of the topic from my point of view.

Nice tedy bear, what is its name, Santa  ?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your original intent.

In America, the "Holidays" are usually taken to mean the days of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

In Europe, your "Holidays" mean your annual vacations, don't they?

Please just ignore my "Christmas Bear".

Perhaps I should intercept.

In my part of the world (southern UK) we have both - holidays, like "vacations", and seasonal holidays eg. christmas holidays, easter holidays, summer holidays.

No way to ignore any teddy bear

I said , this approach is warm welcome. Holidays or vacations, it doesn’t matter. Both

give us joy and days off to relax.

I forgot to mention ,that the challenge ends at Oct. 24, whatever time

C’mon everybody , you worked too hard, not being on summer holidays this year ?

Me not

It all caught up to her just after 5:00 PM. The eyes tell all.

I feel her pain....  I have that same look after meals!

Mee too, especially when having couple of beer to the T-bone steak.

But neither of us looks so cute : -)

Probably her cheeks tell it all.

I love the photo of WB’s Granddaughter, so sweet and cuddly. Here are photos of my two grandsons, each on their 1st birthdays, with their smash cakes. My second grandson is the more rambunctious of the two, hence the condition of the cake 😊 💕💕

Hola all,

I'm going away next week so I won't be entering this MC.

Sorry. I'll enter again when I get back.

Challenge closed.

Congrats to win and cute granddaughter.
This two generations distance is not bad. You can have big fun and joy with them and then send back to mama.
