We have been so lucky to have Tom's Uncle Jim stop to see us on his adventure through Europe this month. Its been really great getting to spend time with him. We decided to take a long weekend and the 4 of us went to Northern Greece - Thessaloniki. It was fabulous .....I don't think anywhere in Greece can't be fabulous. We rented a cute and comfy townhouse for the weekend where Finn became obsessed with stairs since we don't have any in our apartment. We definitely enjoyed our time and gorgeous views! We spent most of our time outside and on the water - swimming, lounging and building sand castles. One day we rented a boat and got to explore the natural lagoons and islands that exist all over. The water was literally crystal blue and we had so much fun! Finn seemed to really like being on the boat and loved the wind blowing in his face. We had one day of gloomy weather so we went on a big road trip adventure to Bulgaria (since we were right on the border). We went to a small and dying village called Pirin in the middle of the mountains where one of Tom's colleagues grandmothers lives. She was so thrilled to see us. And, even though we couldn't communicate due to the language barriers we were all happy to see each other. She was enamored with Finn! It was incredible to see this old old village that is slowly dying off. We were so happy we could brighten Grandma's day!
Greece has become one of our favorite countries and we were so happy we got to explore another part of it and enjoy its natural beauty!
