Happy Mother's Day

In the culmination of a years-long dream, my mother whisked me away on a Greek extravaganza celebrating both of our birthdays. After many months of meticulous planning on Mom's part, we found ourselves excited and jet-lagged in Athens!

At the Metro Station, headed to Syntagma Square

The view from Hotel Acropolis House - the Acropolis! Seriously.

From Athens it was on to the adorable village of Kardamili.

So many pleasant moments spent just staring out to sea, chatting, sipping cappuccino.

Dandelions the size of grapefruits!

And of course, beautiful sunsets.

We enjoyed some excursions to nearby sights:

In the courtyard of Monastery Vaidenitsa

Stuck in Stoupa

There was a great bike path that followed the coast from Stoupa to Agios Nikolaos

The host of Maison Viros, Nikos, was so helpful and thoughtful!

This place was perfect. Kitchen, pool, view of the sea. Couldn't have been better.

Nikos waited with us until the bus came to take us back to Athens! Such a nice guy.

Thanks, Mom, for an incredible adventure. I love you so, so much. Happy Mother's Day!
