Babymoon Recap: Athens

I'm finally posting some long overdue photos of our babymoon/belated honeymoon that we took in July. Unfortunately, the photo quality isn't great because my SLR was at the camera repair shop and we weren't able to pick it up in time before we caught the first of our ten flights.

Hard to believe that an entire month has passed since our glorious vacation and we're currently headed into week 31 of pregnancy. We still haven't bought anything baby related or turned the second bedroom into a nursery yet even though we're closing in on Baby Parsons' arrival, mostly because we've both been so busy with work but also because we're...procrastinating? Still doesn't feel quite real to us, despite all of the kicking and rolling around that's been happening in my stomach. It's somewhat surreal to see my stomach suddenly spasm and move of its own accord.

But back to the babymoon: Greece was amazing. The food, the history, the architecture, the food, the food, the food. I've loved Greek and Roman history since I was a child and it's been both J's and my lifelong dream to see the Parthenon, so it was even more special that we were able to see the sights together.
