Mr. Yellow Hat was part of the official delegation to an event last week
in the southern part of the country, and this week he has business in Sevastopal. He wanted the whole family to make the trip to Crimea, and so once I decided to quit my inner whining about the work involved to get us all here and to enjoy the {possibly} last trip we'll have to the Crimean peninsula, we made it happen.
So here we are, enjoying beautiful Sevastopal on the Black Sea.
We had a few days between events to take some leave
(vacation time in military vernacular).
Sevastopal houses the Black Sea Fleet. During Soviet times, the city was closed- even to Ukrainians. It's a hot tourist destination now. The kids' favorite thing is this huge anchor in a park near our hotel.
Awesome! Glad you had a good time away! :) Beautiful pics!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! Oh boy, and it looks like some of those folks are still stuck in the 80's with their clothing! LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks beautiful! I hope it has been worth the hassle of packing!
ReplyDeleteWhen we travel back to Ukraine someday, that is the region I want to stay. Of course we will go to Kyiv and visit Alex's orphanage. But, I also want create vacation memories and what better place than that.
