Greece

Island hopping in Greece has been one of our favorite trips so far.  Just as Guernseys weather was starting to turn, we headed to south to the sun and mid 80s temps.  Just a few weeks after finding out we are expecting, the trip was filled with rest, relaxation and 8:00pm bedtimes (for Annie).  Josh drank enough for two of us, and I ate enough for all of us...so the trip was definitely a success!

We flew into Mykonos and traveled to Paros and Santorini before returning to Mykonos for our flight back to Guernsey. We won't bore you with all 373 pictures, so here are a few (quite a few) highlights.

Our Mykonos Hotel

 

We found the pool within about 30 seconds...

 Mykonos Town

Happy Hour in Little Venice

 

A fantastic Italian dinner at Casa di Giorgio.  Josh had a major issue not eating Greek food on our first night. I blame it on the baby and cravings!

The ferry ride to Paros. We were advised of rough waters...here is my travel sickness solution.

 

Our Paros Hotel.  Another amazing view.

 

Can you see a pattern? Straight to the pool again.

 

Exploring Naosa

 

A wonderful night.  Dinner at Soso followed by drinks, music, free dessert and checkers at a little family run restaurant.

Beach hopping around the island.

 

We stumbled upon the Paros Triathlon.

 

Lefkes...the highest village on the island.

 

Lunch at New Golden Beach

 

The ferry to Santorini...

 

...where we saw one amazing sunset after another! 

 

Breakfast was delivered to our balcony every morning.  They even made Josh his 8 egg omelette.

 

A fantastic fresh fish dinner in Ammoudi Bay.

 

Our college friend and Josh's fraternity brother, Mike, came in on a cruise ship for the day. We bar hopped around the town of Fira.

 

Exploring the beaches of Santorini and the black sand...

 

Lunch in Fira with a view.

 

The town of Oia in the distance.

 

Sunset and dinner in Oia.

 

Our first little Parks purchase.  Josh thinks this will jinx us into having a boy.

 

Back to Mykonos before our last night in Greece.

Just another wonderful trip for baby Parks who has now been to London, Paris, Madrid, Edinburgh and Greece! Quite the passport for an 11 old week tadpole.
