Greece Trip: Part 1

Last month, I jumped on my fave mode of transportation, headed over the Atlantic and got my wanderlust on. We started in Athens, spent a couple of days in Santorini and then hit up the mountain town of Delphi.

We ate a lot of doner kebabs, olives, tzatziki and greek salads. Seriously feta on everything? How can you go wrong?? March is the off season of tourism in Greece, so we had many of the places to ourselves: ie Santorini, we were the only people staying in our hotel. It was wonderful to be able to see all the wonderful sights on Greece without having to fight for space with other tourists.

At night, we enjoyed staying up until 5am drinking Mythos in the cafes as well as walking the streets with tall boys. I did a 3am cartwheel on the front steps of the Acropolis.....lifetime bucketlist check off. Also, I hadn't done a cartwheel in like 10 years so just proving to myself I could still do one was pretty awesome!

Anyways, enjoy!

Woah, let me tell you this last week has been exhausting and I was so glad to get a couple hours to get out and about with Shawn and check out the Greek Festival. It is put on by a Greek Orthodox church in Brentwood, TN.  I have a love for Greek food so I was pumped to go out there and get some. I was boring though and just got a gyro. The pastry line was crazy long and I am way too impatient to wait. So instead we went to look at all the Greek dancers and vendors.

There were so many beautiful colors at this festival I was just loving every moment!
I wore a dress from the shop, 1970s polyester light pink floral dress. Shawn told me I looked like a grandmother but
Also if you noticed...I dyed my hair bright red! We will see how long this color lasts haha.

Stay tuned I'm hoping to get a giveaway going on here by the end of the week!
