honey to the moon

such a great time away with the Hubby.

We travel well together :)

We had three busy days being VERY touristy. We went every where in Rome and then headed to Santorini in the Greek Islands to relax [but also did some day trips] then back to Rome, where we took the train to Florence for the day. Then it was back to reality, but a good reality!

LOTS and LOTS of pictures, J only gave me a little grief for the amount I took!

We arrived at 8am, got to the hotel and went walking around

Day two: Started at the Spanish steps

A stop for gelato

Great view of Rome

Day Three: Audio TOUR time for J!

A beautiful park in the middle of the city

Day Four: Athens

Nothing like starting the day with a Mcflurry and coke zero :)

It was VERY hot

But we still hiked to the top to see this

Day Five: AHHH finally made it to Santorini [check off the bucket list]

Very very happy wife, so happy life

It was a good morning

pool time

In to the town of Fira for dinner and sunset and shopping

Day six: We rented a car and toured the whole island. so much fun!

Stopped at the other side for another beautiful sunset dinner

Day seven: Another day trip, this time to volcano and hot springs, but first through the donkey poop...so so so gross!

One more bit of relaxing!

and watching the sunset at the hotel

Day Eight we travel

Day Nine: We took the train to Florence

Dodo Store just for Grandma!

One last bit of Pizza and Pasta

Day Ten: We are off! 5am flight

other than almost missing our plane in Paris we made it home safely!
