The start of our Greece Vacation... Athens

We have taken our very first vacation as a new family!  I thought it would be challenging with the baby, but with a little planning it worked out so well.  Lorelai was a perfect angel!!!!  The Greeks loved her.  They are very family oriented and everyone made such a big deal about her.  Her smiles were a big hit.  We began our Greece trip with two days in Athens.  Enjoy the pictures!

This picture was taken as we were getting ready for our tour of Athens to begin.  Doesn't Lorelai look excited?  Traveling really pooped her out. 

Our first stop on our Athens tour was this stadium.  It holds 50,000 people!  It was the first Olympic stadium.

We are getting ready to enter the Acropolis.  Look at the view of Athens.

This pedestrian path was a five minute walk from our hotel.  It was beautiful with the view of the Acropolis in the background

We bought this bracelet for Lorelai.  It's a little big but she'll grow into it and it's adjustable.  The beads are significant to the Greek culture.  They represent "the eye" which is supposed to protect you from evil and give you good luck.  A lot of Greeks put these symbols on their babies for protection.
