Hi from Greece

We just had our first day in Greece. Our trip could not have gone any smoother. We had a 6 hour lay over in Philly, but they had a nice playground that kept Kaleb occupied for most of the time. He fell asleep as soon as we got on our long flight and only woke up once for dinner. Yes, he had some help from Benadryl. Once we arrived we were able to check into our hotel early and we unpacked and went to lunch around our hotel (which is in the middle of Athens). The first time I came to Europe and completely fell in love. As I've returned a few time since, I've come to realize that I do like some things about America much better...like, no smoking in restarants, no people begging at restaurants, no motorcycles on the sidewalks and child seats in the restaurants. After lunch we all took a 3 hour nap and then went to check out the Acropolis and Plaka (surrounding area around the acropolis w/ lots of character.) We quickly found out why they said the Acropolis was not stroller friendly. We had to carry the stroller and Kaleb around and tommorrow will bring his riding backpack instead. We had an awesome dinner of moussaka and tender lamb w/ potatoes and Kaleb had some fresh squeezed strawberry juice. We then came home gave Kaleb and bath and put him to bed by 10pm. And now i'm typing b/c I had a 3 hour nap. I hope to add pictures to these posts once we return home.
