These pictures are from the last weekend in March. We went to Athens early that Sunday to celebrate Danielle's birthday and to see the lighting of the Olympic torch! It was definitely a once in a lifetime thing! Also, I have pictures from the National Museum in Athens. We got to see some amazing artifacts. I would suggest that if you don't recognize one of the pictures, look it up because everything has soo much history behind it!
