21 Weeks: Baby bump photos from Greece

So many dreams coming true at once :)  I've wanted to travel to Greece since I was 12 and be a mommy since I can remember.  This was the start to our "Babymoon".  Our first day in Athens, we visited the Acropolis and this is the Temple of Athena Nike on our climb up to the Parthenon.

We rented a car in Athens and drove to the Peloponnesian Peninsula where we visited ruins at Mycenae, the beautiful coastal town of Nafplio and Epidaurus.  This is us in Epidaurus visiting the famous amphitheater.  It was huge and the acoustics were amazing!

Leaving the mainland, we took a ferry to Crete and enjoyed some beach time.  The water was crystal clear and each beach had its own personality.  This is Elafonisi Beach which boasts pink sands and wading waters leading visitors 50 yards out to a sand bar.  Here's a picture Rob took of the baby under Mediterranean waters :)

Above water at Elafonisi - can you see the pink-tinted sand?   It was so pretty that we decided to bring a little of it home with us.
