Day trip to Palanga

On Sunday we took a day trip to the nearby town of Palanga. We hopped on a bus for the 20 minute ride there. Palanga is a little resort town with a great beach. We spent the morning walking through the Botanical Garden park. There were beautiful paths to walk on and lots of ducks and swans for the kids to look at. I am amazed we managed to keep Owen out of the water! It was a very peaceful place. In the middle of the park was the Amber museum. Kevin took a little look in there while I kept walking with the kids.

We then headed for the beach. The kids both were quite excited to be playing in the sand. We put our toes in the Baltic Sea but the water was way too cold to swim in (although we did see a few crazy people attempt it!)

After our time at the beach, both kids crashed in the stroller. This stroller is not the greatest for sleeping in but they don't seem to mind. (The stroller has been working great for us though - thanks Tara!!)

We then walked out the pier for a while. There were lots of fishermen fishing and we did see one man catch a small fish. Kendra thought that was pretty cool!

Finally, we ended our day walking along the market / pedestrian street and Kendra finally got her ride on the 'playground'. She had been waiting all day for that ride!!
