We got to fit a lot in while they were here! The Acropolis, the Plaka/Monistraki Area, Mike's scrimmage game, and more. I will have to say, I had a pretty good time being their tour guide as well.

It was great having them here, but a little weird (and sad) taking them to the airport and saying goodbye. I'm so used to visiting Mike the last few years, that it will take a little longer to sink in that I live here now too. This trip did made me look forward to having the rest of my family visit in January, and hopefully Mike is equally as thrilled ;)
