{Slovenia-Labor Day Wknd}

We love spending time in Slovenia. We drove there for Labor Day Wknd with my parents, Jesse & Chellse. My dad's entire family lives there, so it's extra special for him. We had a wonderful weekend with family.

Mark with my cousin, Primoz, who baptized him in Slovenia in 1999.

My dad with his 2 brothers & nephew :)

We made a trip to the cemetary to remember my grandparents & aunt.

We also went to the monument honoring my grandfather near the field where he was killed.

My grandfather's grave.

We also visited Bled Castle.

We left my dad in Slovenia to spend the majority of his 3mos. there with his family. We are sure he is having a wonderful time!

Enjoy :)
