Now you have some pictures of our trip. We have stored away wonderful memories and all of us said we would love to go back. I hope we have more fun trips with the Kenneys and the Weldons in the future! :)

Our Big Fat Greek Vacation!

Last week I didn't have a lot to say. But this week is a different story. :) Greece was amazing. As our wonderful hostess, Martha Weldon, repeatedly said..It was GOORORGEOUS. Martha and Glen have loved Greece for years and I think it took us about 10 minutes to understand why!! We were welcomed at the airport with big hugs and cool, sunny temperatures. Woo Hoo!!
From the Athens airport we travelled about 2 and a half hours to a ferry which took us to Zakynthos. And so began our wonderful visit to Greece. The week was full of laughter, relaxation, games, amazing vistas, and incredible food. On the agenda was a boat ride with snorkelling in the Ionian Sea, magnificent mountain views, brilliant blue waters, and more great food. :) We visited the ancient ruins of Delphi and spent a day at beautiful beach near Patras, where the Weldons live. We loved everything about Greece, but the food topped the charts!!! Greece is certainly one place that we could go back to over and over again.
I'm sorry I don't have pictures. I tried to upload them to the blog but for some reason it isn't working. I will add them later.
