I feel full after reading this! Great report. Is your hat the last one to the right? It really does fit in! As for bringing your children...do it! We started bringing ours when they were about 5 and 8. It is their favorite spot in the world now (they are 20 and 23 now). Renting a villa with kids is also great because you have a kitchen to rustle up small meals if you don't want to eat out every meal, which can be expensive and exhausting with kids. And having your own space with a pool is sometimes more relaxing then constantly running after them at a resort. I highly recommend bringing them! But as your husband commented, "better start saving now".
