Finally to Santorini


We ended our trip on the island of Santorini.  This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen!  The island is crescent schaped and surrounds a volcano.  The cities are situated on sea cliffs overlooking the water. 

The first day we were there we took a half day boat tour in the caldera of the island.  We went out to explore the volcano

Daddy and Lorelai being silly on the boat

This picture was taken during an hour long hike of the volcano

Lorelai loves the boat ride

This is a picture of Daddy and Lorelai as we are heading back to the island to dock.  You can see the buildings situated on top of the cliff
The next day we spent the morning at one of the many beaches.  This beach is called "Black Beach" appropriately named for the black volcanic sand


It was Lorelai's first day at the beach.  The weather was nice but Joe and I rigged this beach blanket to protect her from the wind and the sun


She was so cute playing with the blanket, tugging on it and swatting at the colors

I've never seen a happier baby.  I love my sweet Lorelai

Still all smiles, hanging with Daddy

I took her out to the water.  It was very cold so we just dipped our feet in.  Lorelai liked to watch the waves

Santorini is said to have the most beautiful sunset in the world.  This picture was taken as the sun was sinking into the Aegean Sea

This picture was taken from our dinner table later that night

Another picture of the amazing views


Love the buildings




This was taken during lunch.
